Low-Profile Metasurface-Integrated Ultra-Wideband Antenna with Enhanced Gain
subject: flexible; metasurface; UWB antenna; wearable
description: In this paper a metamaterial-integrated compact antenna is proposed, and the design, simulation, and implementation are presented which works in Ultra-Wideband frequency (UWB) range. The FR4 substrate has been used to design a compact, flexible, wearable antenna. Metamaterial structure comprises of periodic arrangement of unit cells termed as metasurface, to achieve higher gain. The proposed integrated antenna exhibits maximum gain of 8.1 dBi with overall dimensions of 50 mm 40 mm. Also, the gain enhancement of 3.2 dBi along with 0.2 GHz increment in bandwidth is observed after adding the metamaterial array. Thus, the proposed antenna is suitable for wearable applications. 2025 IEEE.
