A switchable cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna, operating in fo
ur different radiation modes, is reported. Two linear polarised, one c
ircular polarised, and a nonradiating, mode are implemented. The exper
imental results of the resonant frequency; boresight axial ratio, gain
, unloaded Q-factor, impedance bandwidth and radiation efficiency are
presented for the operating modes and compared with the theoretical va
lues.
