Description

In this paper a dual-band high gain metamaterial antenna is designed using RT Duroid 5880 with overall size of 50 60 mm2 and thickness of 1.64 mm. A rectangular patch antenna with two slots is designed to operate at 3.5 and 5.8GHz for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. Further, to enhance the gain characteristics of patch antenna, a reflective metasurface (RMS) is designed on FR-4 substrate, which is placed as a superstrate above the antenna. The metasurface used as superstrate is placed at the air gap of 15 mm to achieve optimum gain and bandwidth. It is observed that the proposed metamaterial integrated antenna shows enhanced gain of 6.5 and 7.73 dBi at both the resonant frequencies. The designed antenna is a good candidate for various WLAN and WiMAX applications. 2025 IEEE.
