The wireless communication sector requires inexpensive, small antennas that can resonant for multiband operations with a respectable gain. Metal components in the traditional antenna configuration provide energy loss and conduction loss at higher frequencies. The Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) is a good option for these issues. It is made of dielectric resonator material, which is devoid of metal components. The DRA provides a sufficient and steady response for metrics like return loss, gain, bandwidth, and VSWR at high frequencies because there is no conductive material present. The need for single antennas that can operate across several frequency bands in wireless applications is addressed in this paper using a unique approach. Multiband operation is made possible by the modified U-slot design of a single circular patch antenna. The antenna's usefulness is increased by incorporating these slots, which support WLAN, Extended WiMAX, and International Mobile Communication Systems. However, low gain is a common problem with microstrip patch antennas. In order to address this, the multiband antenna is positioned above a Cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna (CDRA). The CDRA is 1.6 cm in radius and 9 cm in height, and it is made of polypropylene, which has a dielectric constant of 2.2. Through simulations using the EM Flow solver HFSS, the Modified U-Slot Multiband Circular Patch Antenna with Cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna meets the required return loss criteria across its working frequencies and exhibits enhanced gain performance. The ultimate goal of the Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) is to improve the efficiency, dependability, and range of this proposed cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna. This algorithm is based on the behavior of honey badgers, which use their sense of smell and honey guide birds to navigate toward the honeycomb.
