Summary: This letter presents a wideband wide-beam rectangular di-electric resonator antenna (DRA) using uniaxial anisotropic material for the first time. By tuning the uniaxial permittivity tensor, the radiation from the top wall of the DRA is enhanced and the gain at low elevation angle in the E-plane is improved. The bandwidth is broadened by merging the feed slot mode and the fundamental TE(111)(y) mode. The addition of a grounded substrate and trapezoidal notches on the ground broadens the half-power beamwidth (HPBW) in the H-plane. The measured results show an impedance bandwidth of 35.7% over a band of 2.65-3.8 GHz with HPBWs of at least 250 degrees and 162 degrees in the E-and H-planes, respectively.

Summary: This article introduces a method that utilizes the modulation of the transmission or reflection coefficient of a frequency-selective surface (FSS) to modulate electromagnetic (EM) waves, and achieves polarization manipulation which rotates the polarization of the wave upon reflection. These techniques can be used as countermeasures to Radar detection. A prototype of a switchable polarization-rotating FSS is designed, which can switch between co-polarized and cross-polarized reflection, and an EM wave modulation scheme is planned using a periodic signal to switch the polarization state of the FSS.

Summary: This paper designs a highly isolated two-port MIMO antenna using hybrid isolation enhancement techniques. First, an epsilon-negative transmission line-inspired antenna with circular polarization (CP) radiation is developed. Then, the same antenna is converted into a two-element MIMO configuration. By inserting multiple defected ground structure-based slots in the antenna ground plane and placing an epsilon-and-mu-near-zero-based metasurface superstrate above the two-port MIMO configuration, higher antenna isolation of 51 dB is achieved. The antenna's performance is analyzed in an actual environmental condition by covering it with a Teflon cavity, and the polarization diversity performance is confirmed.

Summary: This article investigates a frequency tunable linearly polarized rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) coupled with a horizontal/vertical-slot and excited with circular-ring type feed. The frequency tunability is achieved by rotating the slot at different angles. Two linearly polarized antennas, named DRA-1 and DRA-2, have been proposed for Wi-MAX and Sub-6 GHz/5G frequency bands, respectively. Both DRAs excite the TE11 and delta modes, confirmed by the orientation of the electric field inside the rectangular DRA. DRA-1 offers a measured-10 dB input impedance bandwidth of 21.60% centered at 2.87 GHz, with co-polarized and cross-polarized field levels separated by more than 24 dB in the broadside direction. DRA-2 offers a measured-10 dB input impedance bandwidth of 23.03% centered at 3.56 GHz, with co-polarized and cross-polarized field levels separated by more than 23 dB in the broadside direction. Additionally, DRA-1 has a maximum gain of 5.23 dBi, while DRA-2 has a maximum gain of 4.75 dBi in the broadside direction.
