Abstract : In the modern world of communication where gadgets are becoming smaller, light weight compact antennas also an essential need of the hour. Considering the disposal of electronic equipment’s, if the devices are biodegradable that will be ecofriendly. Considering these, a Cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna (CDRA) manufactured using jute is studied in this paper. In the proposed antenna Low Density Poly Ethylene (LDPE) acts as the binder. To enhance the properties of the CDRA Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is also incorporated. So the final CDRA has jute, LDPE and TiO2 in the ratio 30:50:20. With this chemical composition a CDRA of radius 10 mm having a thickness of 4.35 mm is fabricated and its characteristics are studied. The DR is found to have a dielectric constant near to 5 and operates in the Wi Fi band of 5.25 GHz with a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of 120 MHz.
