A planar array antenna consisting of 6 units of rectangular dielectric resonators fed by means of novel microstrip lines through aperture coupling is presented. The structure is designed in such a way that two different modes are excited in the array elements that yield a high bandwidth and gain. Based on the experimental results, the antenna is seen to have an impedance bandwidth of 6.98% centered at 24.09 GHz. Furthermore, the antenna gain is seen to lie between 7 and 9.5 dBi within its entire bandwidth, whereas the cross-polarization discrimination is better than 45 dB in the boresight. These features, along with its low-profile structure, make this antenna a suitable candidate for usage in short-range radars, wireless sensor nodes, and other sensors for the 24 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band.
