This article shows the design of dielectric resonator antenna with nickel ferrite as dielectric material. Its main characteristics and measurements are described. Nickel ferrite was synthetized by sol–gel modified by ionic coordination reaction technique. Calcination was performed at 1100°C (10 h, 10°C/min step), followed by compression procedure at 227 MPa, to manufacture the bulk. Sintering process was applied at calcination temperature, for 4 h, to ensure bulk's physical resistance, and its electrical characterization was performed for antenna design and simulations. Simulated radiation patterns are presented, as reflection coefficient, which is compared with measurements. Measured reflection coefficient presented good agreement with performed simulations, with a difference of 0.74% in resonance frequency. Simulated radiation patterns also presented good results, with relatively high gain in co‐polarization planes, 2.11 dB for E plane, and low cross‐polarization E plane value, −47 dB.
