Theoretical investigation of a circular patch antenna in the presence of a left-handed medium

The influence of a left-handed medium (LHM) on the performances of a circular patch antenna is quantified numerically. For this, a homogenization procedure of the LHM is carried out in order to design the patch antenna at a suitable frequency where the losses of the LHM are low. From the first results obtained, it is noted that in the presence of the LHM, the antenna is more directive and has a higher gain.
