- Abstract
In this paper, we present a new design of microstrip patch antenna based on metamaterial refractive surface (MRS). By optimizing the air gap between the MRS layer and the patch antenna to be 7 mm, the band width and the gain of the proposed antenna are significantly enhanced. The proposed prototype presents a dual band antenna. The center frequency for the first band is 2.44 GHz and the generated bandwidth is 25 MHz. The second band has a center frequency of 2.8 GHz and with a bandwidth of 50 MHz. The simulation results are analyzed and discussed in terms of return loss, gain and radiation pattern using electromagnetic simulator software. Finally, the designed dual band antenna is fabricated and different measurement results are performed and compared with simulation results in order to validate its performances. The proposed antenna supports WiBro (wireless broadband), ISM, WiFi, Bluetooth, WiMAX and radars services.
