DESIGN OF PATCH ANTENNA BASED ON METAMATERIAL

Abstract: “Metamaterial” attracts researchers of various areas and research grown rapidly in this area. The unusual response of these metamaterials are often generated by artificially fabricated additions or in-homogeneities embedded in a host medium or associated to or implanted on a host surface. A microstrip antenna based on the concept of metamaterial has been proposed in this work. Various aspects of the antenna such as size, radiating frequency, bandwidth, beamwidth, gain and directivity have been taken under consideration. With this design the return loss of - 38.4 dB has been achieved at the frequency of 2.2 GHz.
