Design of Circular/Dual-Frequency Linear Polarization Antennas Based on the Anisotropic Complementary Split Ring Resonator

A novel kind of circular polarization and dual-frequency linear polarization microstrip antennas is proposed. The designs are based on the anisotropic property of the complementary split ring resonator. When the complementary split ring resonator is etched on the patch of the probe-fed microstrip antenna, the gap orientation asymmetric or symmetric to the current propagating direction will render the antenna to radiate circular polarization waves or dual-frequency linear polarization waves. Details of the experimental results compared with the simulated results are presented and discussed.
