Abstract

This work demonstrates integration of an artificial material onto a Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna to improve its performance. Such antennas are gaining a high interest as system designer require more complex function to be implemented in reduced area. The artificial material used is commonly called “Metamaterial” or “Left-Handed-Metamaterial (LHM)” and it exhibit some peculiar electromagnetic properties that don’t exist in nature. So, when a microstrip patch antenna is integrated using Left-Handed-Metamaterial, potential parameters like return loss, bandwidth, directivity, gain & efficiency etc. shows improvement. These antennas are cost-effective, more powerful and highly efficient in comparison to the basic microstrip antenna and have their applications in various commercial and military equipments. Proposed Antenna along with RMPA is designed to simulate at 2.4GHz. The designing and analysis has been done using the Computer Simulation Technology (CST-2010) software. The various parameters are compared and the results were deduced.

Keywords: Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna, Left-Handed Metamaterial, Split Ring.
