Abstract

In this paper, we proceed by presenting a wideband coplanar antenna which can be used in various applications because of its performances such as broad band, small size and low-cost design. Then, we carried out many metamaterial refractive surface (MRS) simulations in order to optimize the antenna performances. Finally, a comparative study between different configurations of the proposed antenna integrated with MRS is presented. The proposed prototype covers the frequency band from 1.6 to 1.8 GHz.
