Bimal Garg, Rahul Tiwari, Ashish Kumar, Sunil Kumar Thakur . Design of Broadband Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna Inset 'L' Shaped Feed with Rectangular 'L' Slots in Ground Plane. International Journal of Computer Applications. 29, 1 ( September 2011), 1-4. DOI=10.5120/3532-4818
This paper proposes a patch antenna that uses metamaterial as base construction. Design methodologies including the metamaterial and patch antenna have been explained in detail. The simulation results show that an antenna with metamaterial substrate has improved bandwidth and return loss significantly without changing the frequency. The new inspired metamaterial antenna contributes the best return loss of more than -22dB and 386MHz bandwidth wider than the conventional patch antenna. This type of antenna is able to take advantage of wireless applications.
