A 28-GHz Beam-Switching Ridge Gap Dielectric Resonator Antenna Based on FSS for 5G Applications

A new design of the double dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) fed by a printed ridge gap waveguide for beam-switching applications based on frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) is presented here. The dual-sided printed FSS element works in its reflection mode and comprises a slotted square C-shaped patch on the top layer and a square strip on the back plane. Therefore, the beam switching can be imp...
