Design and Implementation of Spherical Dielectric Resonator Antenna for Vehicular Applications

With the invention of autonomous vehicles, the automobile industry has made a huge mark all over the world. A self-driving car, also known as an autonomous car, is a vehicle that can sense its surroundings and operate safely with little or no human interaction. Its goal is to reduce the number of people killed or injured in car accidents, particularly those caused by driver distraction. The objective of this paper is to design a spherical dielectric resonator vehicular antenna (SDRA) at 24 GHz for Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) application and amateur radio. Antenna so designed has high efficiency with novel geometry. It is compact in shape with high gain.
