In this paper, a single-feed dual-frequency dual-linearly-polarized dielectric resonator antenna is proposed which finds application in two- way internet satellite system and modern radar system. In order to achieve dual linear polarization at distinct frequencies, two rectangular dielectric resonators of same dimensions are excited in ${\rm TE}^{x}_{\delta 11}$ and ${\rm TE}^{y}_{1\delta 1}$ modes by a narrow longitudinal and transverse slot, respectively, etched on the top wall of the substrate integrated waveguide. The −10 dB impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 6.76% for both the frequency bands. The antenna radiates along the broadside direction and the gain of the antenna varies from 5.37 to 6.24 dBi and 5.62–7.96 dBi across 8.14–8.71 GHz and 10.29–11.01 GHz, respectively.
