Analysis and Design of Rectangular Resonant Microstrip Patch Antenna Loaded with “SLOTTED RHOMBUS” Shaped Left-Handed Inspired Metamaterial Structure

ABSTRACT

Authors analyzed and explored a significant concept of micro-strip patch antenna configured by double negative left handed metamaterial structure. Basic aim of this paper is to explain the general properties of rectangular micro-strip patch antenna with metamaterial structure like return loss, bandwidth, directivity and Smith chart. In this paper authors have compared the return loss of the micro-strip patch antenna at a frequency of 2.26 GHz and height of 3.2 mm from the ground plane with “SLOTTED RHOMBUS” Shaped left-handed structure. It has been observed that the return loss has reduced by 25 dB approximately.

Keywords:Rectangular Microstrip Patch antennas, Double Negative Left-Handed Metamaterial.
