Abstract

In this paper, a metamaterial antenna based on Split Ring Resonator (SRR) and a Thin Wire (TW) is proposed and studied. The proposed antenna consists of six unit cells and a thin wire of Left Handed Materials (LHM) arranged in 2x3 printed on same side of substrate. The TW stub of the unit cell is used to connect the LHM’s to the radiating edge of a microstrip patch antenna. The constitutive parameter of the LHM is retrieve to reveal the left handed region. By using these techniques, the bandwidth of the metamaterial antenna is twice that of the ordinary patch antenna at the same operating frequency.
