# A simple INDIUM TIN OXIDE/glass DRA

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a simple dielectric resonator antenna made from indium tin oxide coated glass slides on a microstrip line, demonstrating how size modifications affect its bandwidth, gain, and directivity for communication uses.

## Contribution

It presents a novel, easy-to-fabricate DRA design using indium tin oxide coated glass, with a detailed parametric study on how dimensions influence performance.

## Key findings

- Bandwidth and gain are affected by the size of the glass slides.
- Changes in gain, directivity, and reflection coefficient are observed.
- The antenna design is suitable for communication applications.

## Abstract

A novel Dielectric Resonator Antenna, simply made of INDIUM TIN OXIDE coated glass slides placed on a microstrip transmission line, for communication applications is presented. Changes in the bandwidth and gain of the antenna are observed by modifying the dimensions of the INDIUM TIN OXIDE coated glass slides. Changes in gain, directivity and reflection coefficient are observed. A parametric study is conducted on the size of the DRA to understand the effect on bandwidth, reflection coefficient and gain.
