Abstract

Advancements in electronic warfare systems and radio transmission in modern technologies utilize the metamaterial in antenna systems to boost the entire system’s effectiveness. This paper proposes a metamaterial antenna for current wireless systems with an effective data rate. The split ring resonator (SRR) metamaterial is implanted in the radiating patch in a novel and distinctive way, introducing subwavelength mechanisms into the patch cavity and causing a broad bandwidth antenna with great performance features. This paper proposed the unique shape of a hybrid SRR such as the pentagonal outer ring and triangular inner ring in the radiating element. Further, the thickness of both rings is optimized to enhance the antenna performance. The simulated result of the optimized hybrid SRR structure is − 66.55 dB return loss with a maximum gain of 8.73 dBi. The proposed metamaterial antenna is suitable for various applications like biomedical devices, high-speed imaging, sensing, and terahertz (THz) communication.
