Microstrip Antenna Gain Enhancement using Near Zero Refractive Index Metamaterials
Some useful features of microstrip patch antennas are low profile, low weight and easy fabrication. However this type of antenna suffers from having a low gain, caused by propagation surface waves. In this paper, a new near zero refractive index metamaterial (MTM) unit cell is designed and fabricated as a superstrate over a Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antennas (RMPA). In order to obtain a maxi...
متن کاملGain Enhancement of the Vivaldi Antenna with Band Notch Characteristics Using Zero-index Metamaterial
In this letter, a tapered slot ultrawide band (UWB) Vivaldi antenna with enhanced gain having band notch characteristics in the WLAN/WiMAX band is presented. In this framework, a reference tapered slot Vivaldi antenna is first designed for UWB operation that is, 3.1–10.6 GHz using the standard procedure. The band-notch operation at 4.8 GHz is achieved with the help of especially designed comple...
متن کاملEnhanced Gain Planar Inverted-F Antenna with Metamaterial Superstrate for UMTS Applications
Planar inverted-F antennas (PIFA) are widely used in wireless hand-held devices due to their small-size, moderate bandwidth and radiation patterns. However, the radiation patterns of such antennas degrade when placed very close to a conductive finite ground plane. In this paper, an engineered magnetic superstrate is introduced to enhance the gain of PIFA antennas. The engineered magnetic supers...
متن کاملHybrid metamaterial design and fabrication for terahertz resonance response enhancement.
Planar hybrid metamaterial with different split ring resonators (SRR) structure dimensions are fabricated on silicon substrates by femtosecond (fs) laser micro-lens array (MLA) lithography and lift-off process. The fabricated metamaterial structures consist of: (a) uniform metamaterial with 4 SRRs at same design and dimension as a unit cell and (b) hybrid metamaterial with 4 SRRs at same design...
