Abstract
This paper is an application and an evolution of the new technology that has been already used for a GNSS L1 patch antenna. This technology allows the design of miniature antennas consisting of ceramic material manufactured with an additive process. Based on a patented technology, the dielectric material is structured with a 3D lattice design to obtain the desired effective permittivity. Two different lattices have been studied in this paper which are applied to a miniature circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). Simulated results are given and discussed.
