A new pawn-shaped dielectric ring resonator (DRR) fed by a simple quarter-wave monopole has been investigated as a new variant of the hybrid monopole-dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). The new geometry, conceived intuitively, significantly improves the impedance bandwidth compared to all earlier versions reported in open literature. S11r=10. Such ultrawideband (UWB) response is caused by multiple resonances occurring by the hybrid monopole-DRA structure . These resonances are identified through several experimental and simulation studies. Uniform monopole-type radiation occurring over the entire bandwidth has been confirmed using measured and simulated results. The peak gain varies from 4 to 6 dBi as a function of frequency. Such useful properties can be successfully used to realize UWB monopole antennas for wireless communications and as wideband electromagnetic interference (EMI) sensors.
