Abstract: Parametric variation of a microstrip line coupled dielectric resonator antenna with an inclined and offset slot in the common ground plane has been analyzed. Excitation of the TE111 mode in this configuration is studied. It is also seen that the slot geometry and offset can be optimized to excite the higher order TM101 mode. Ansoft HFSS is used to analyze the proposed antenna configuration. The proposed antenna can be applied to IEEE802.11 WLAN systems.
