Abstract
An electromagnetic device includes at least one dielectric resonator antenna, DRA, and at least one dielectric waveguide, DWG, configured so that during operation of the electromagnetic device, the at least one DRA provides an electromagnetic signal to the at least one DWG, or the at least one DWG provides an electromagnetic signal to the at least one DRA. The at least one DWG has a three-dimensional, 3D, shape that is different from a 3D shape of the at least one DRA.
Claims21
1-120. (canceled)
An electromagnetic, EM, device, comprising:
- a substrate;
- at least one dielectric resonator antenna, DRA, the at least one DRA having a proximal end and a distal end disposed at a distance away from the proximal end, the proximal end of the at least one DRA being disposed on the substrate;
- and
- at least one dielectric waveguide, DWG, configured so that during operation of the EM device the at least one DWG is disposed in EM signal communication with the at least one DRA;
- wherein the at least one DWG has a proximal end disposed proximate the distal end of the DRA;
- wherein the at least one DWG has a three-dimensional, 3D, shape that is different from a 3D shape of the at least one DRA;
- wherein the at least one DRA is an all-dielectric material having a first average dielectric constant;
- wherein the at least one DWG is an all-dielectric material having a second average dielectric constant;
- and
- wherein the first average dielectric constant is greater than the second average dielectric constant.
