Abstract

This communication presents a spiral split ring resonator (SSRR) loaded four-element microstrip patch antenna array for 5.8 GHz WiMAX applications. The unloaded antenna array resonates at 5.8 GHz with gain of 7.15 dBi and bandwidth of 480 MHz. Whereas, when the patches of this array are loaded with SSRR, the bandwidth increases to 700 MHz with almost no variation in gain. The proposed antenna array has been designed on 1.48 mm thick FR-4 substrate and simulated in FEM-based HFSS commercial electromagnetic simulator.
