Amit Gangwar, Suresh Chandra Gupta . Design of a Single Negative Metamaterial based Microstrip Patch Antenna. International Journal of Computer Applications. 98, 10 ( July 2014), 4-8. DOI=10.5120/17217-7453
This paper describes the design and simulation of the new ? negative metamaterial unit cell structure and then the unit cells are combined to form 3D array which use as metamaterial cover with a single microstrip patch antenna. The new ? negative metamaterial is based on the ELC resonator structure, which is used for obtaining the negative value of permittivity and positive value of permeability. Simulation result shows that the gain of the antenna has been increased with metamaterial cover up to 1. 46db . This has to proven that metamaterial as a cover enhance the directive properties of conventional microstrip patch antenna.
