A Compact Hybrid Liquid Antenna for Wi-Fi Applications

In this paper, a hybrid antenna is introduced for multi-band applications. The proposed antenna overcomes the problems associated with designing dual/multi-band antennas with a compact size of
$\leq ^{1}/_{2}\lambda_{0}$
in the overall dimensions. A liquid dielectric resonator antenna and a ME - dipole configuration is considered together for this to realize multi-mode operation achieving decent broadside gain and efficiency.
