Dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) operation at low microwave frequencies has been the subject of much work in recent years. However, the use and characteristics of DRAs at millimeter‐wave frequencies have not been explored. DRAs have potential application at millimeter‐wave frequencies as there is no conductor loss mechanism in the radiating element. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of an aperture‐coupled DRA element and array that function in the 40 GHz frequency range. The results presented show that the use of dielectric resonators as antennas can be extended into the millimeter‐wave frequencies. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
