Abstract

This paper presents a designing of dual-coated miniaturized metamaterial inspired quad band antenna for wireless standards with gain enhancement. Proposed design has compactness in size with electrical dimension of 0.239 × 0.351 × 0.0127 λ (30 × 44 × 1.6 mm3), at lower frequency of 2.39 GHz. The antenna consist a double printed slotted hexagonal shape radiating section with implementation of metamaterial rectangular split ring resonator. Antenna achieve quad bands for wireless standards WLAN (2.4/5.8 GHz), WiMAX (3.5 GHz), IEEE 802.11P (WAVE-5.9 GHz), ITU assigned X bands (7.25–7.75, 7.9–8.4 GHz) and satellite communication systems operating bands (C-band: 7.4–8.9 GHz and X-band: 8–10 GHz for satellite TV). An acceptable gain, stable radiation characteristics and good impedance matching are observed at all the resonant frequencies of the proposed structure. By application of proposed frequency selective surface an average enhancement of gain is about 4–5 dB over the operating band. Antenna fabricated and tested represent good agreement between the simulated and measured results.
