Abstract
Abstract. In this paper, a metamaterial antenna operating at a frequency of 5.8 GHz is presented. Metamaterial superstrate cover acts as a lens which focuses the EM radiations due to the unusual properties of the metamaterial.This leads to improvement performance of patch antenna along with its physical protection.The proposed metamaterial lens consists of a double layer of 9-by-9 matrix of Slit-Ring Resonators (SRRs),and is positioned above a probe-fed rectangular patch resonating at 5.8 GHz.The structure improve the gain and directivity of a simple patch antenna up to 7 dB.Simulation results of the proposed antenna are presented and discussed in this letter.
