A circularly polarized (CP) hollow hemispherical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented. The CP DRA that is excited using conformal open half loop metal strips has been studied theoretically and experimentally. The proposed antenna configuration has provided a measured CP and return loss bandwidths of ∼11.i5%, and 10.32% respectively. The DRA has been simulated using Method of Moments (MoM) model, where a good agreement has been obtained between the experimental and theoretical results.
