A simple and compact filtering dielectric resonator antenna comprising: a ground plane, a dielectric substrate defined on the ground plane, a dielectric resonator defined on the dielectric substrate, and a hybrid feeding line, the hybrid feeding line comprises: a microstrip line and a metallic conformal strip, and the microstrip line comprises: a microstrip main branch, a first microstrip stub and a second microstrip stub. In the present invention, a hybrid feeding line is firstly employed to a dielectric resonator antenna. It has been shown that this hybrid feeding line can not only increase the impedance bandwidth of the passband but also can introduce two radiation nulls right near the band edges. Both good filtering and radiating performances are therefore obtained without any extra filtering circuit, giving a very compact structure.

The invention discloses an antenna arrangement and a method of designing the same, the antenna arrangement being tuned to radiate in a plurality of bands. The antenna arrangement comprises a first conductive element which has a compact linear 2D or 3D form factor. It also comprises leaves attached to the first conductive element, the position, dimension, form factor and orientation of which are defined based on their impact on frequency shifts of the fundamental and harmonic modes, so that the antenna arrangement radiates at a plurality of predefined frequencies. The design method uses maps of hot areas where the sensitivity to the parameters defined for the leaves is maximal. Advantageously, the design method is performed in a manner which uses an orthogonality of the impacts of the parameters of the leaves vis--vis the different radiating modes. The antenna arrangement is compact and well adapted to applications to the IoT and consumer communication devices.
