Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna Design Using Metamaterial: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Due to their small size, low cost, ease of manufacturing, etc., microstrip patch antennas are used for cell phone applications. Thanks to its many advantages, the MSA has proved to be an exceptional radiator for many applications, but it also has some drawbacks. The main disadvantages of a patch antenna are lower gain and tight bandwidth. In this paper, a survey is presented on the current solutions for the same, built over several years and an emerging metamaterial of technology. Metamaterials are artificial materials distinguished by parameters that are normally not present but can be engineered in nature. Due to the property of having negative permeability as well as permittivity, they vary from other materials. In order to produce negative permeability and thin wire elements to generate negative permittivity, the metamaterial structure consists of Split Ring Resonators (SRRs).
