Design of a Circular Dielectric Resonator Antenna for Vehicle-to-Everything Communication

Advanced vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication is expected to require very large data rates, ultra high reliability, and low latency. This motivates the design of antennas able to operate in the mmWave spectrum with sufficient bandwidth and high gain. In this paper, candidate antennas are investigated and Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) are found to be an effective solution. An aperture-coupled circular DRA made from Rogers 6010 substrate is designed and simulated. The simulated peak gain and impedance bandwidth are 6.4 dBi and 2.51 GHz, respectively. The designed antenna shows potential for use in mmWave vehicular communication.
