Zigzag Pattern Metamaterial Structure With Rectangular Patch Antenna “This paper has been withdrawn”
About this article
Abstract
In this paper, Authors analyze a Metamaterial structure with a rectangular microstrip patch antenna. This paper presents the techniques which can be used to reduce the return loss as well as improve the gain of conventional rectangular microstrip patch antenna. The return loss of a normal patch antenna designed at the resonant frequency of 2.4 GHz has been compared with that of the same patch antenna along with an additionally stacked Metamaterial structure on to the patch antenna at a height of 3.2 mm from the ground plane. It has been measured that the return loss is improved around 5 dB.
