Abstract
Antennas suitable for use in compact radio frequency (RF) applications and devices, and methods of fabrication thereof. Described are resonator antennas, for example dielectric resonator antennas fabricated using polymer-based materials, such as those commonly used in lithographic fabrication of integrated circuits and microsystems. Accordingly, lithographic fabrication techniques can be employed in fabrication. The antennas have metal inclusions embedded in the resonator body which can be configured to control electromagnetic field patterns, which serves to enhance the effective permittivity of the resonator body, while creating an anisotropic material with different effective permittivity and polarizations in different orientations.
