Dielectric Resonator Antenna, SMD

Also known as a Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) Antenna, a DRA is a type of radio frequency antenna that utilises a piece of dielectric material to radiate or receive signals. Unlike conventional antennas that use metal elements to resonate at a specific frequency, DRAs use the resonant properties of the dielectric material itself to achieve the same effect. This design allows for a compact size and low weight while providing excellent performance and efficiency. It also minimises interference and signal loss often associated with metal-based antennas. Given these advantages, DRAs are commonly found in modern wireless communication devices and systems, such as mobile phones and Wi-Fi equipment.
