Popis: This paper presents miniature dual-band cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) based on button antenna for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications. A button antenna is designed by stacking two CDRAs (low and high permittivity) fed by coaxial probe through the ground plane and penetrates the bottom CDRA. The prime contributions of using DRAs are to enhance the performance and to provide a compact size of antenna. However, the coaxial probe realizes two radiation patterns, monopole and broadside patterns. A comprehensive validation using CST microwave studio is carried out to determine the characteristics of the proposed button antenna. In addition, to ensure that the results are acceptable to the practitioner in this field, a prototype was fabricated and tested. The superiority of the proposed antenna is confirmed by possessing 39% more compact size compared to previously reported studies, efficiency of more than 63% and bandwidth of 4.9% and 6.6% for lower and upper band, respectively. This proposed design is a promising candidate to benefit on/off body communication devices operating at 2.4 and 5.6 GHz.
