Design a Microstrip Patch Antenna inspired by Metamaterial Structures for Wireless Applications

In this paper, the proposed antenna design is inspired by metamaterial structure with rectangular patch antenna represented. It shows the metamaterial property at 1.57mm and shows three bands with resonant at 5.6 GHz; 7.4 GHz and 9.4 GHz and corresponding bandwidths obtained 300MHz, 900GHz and 105 MHz respectively. It achieved the gain of 3.58 dB. Proposed antenna is fabricated using Bakelite substrate with 1.57 mm thickness. The proposed antenna has application in amateur satellite (downlink), IEEE 802.11a WLAN and some weather Radar system.
