Abstract

The demand for high-speed data services for portable devices has become a driving force for the development of advanced broadband access technologies. Therefore, in this paper metamaterial antenna for 4G WiMAX application presented. “Meta” is a Greek word which means “beyond" the materials provides properties beyond the conventional materials. A simple circular patch antenna is provided with the split ring resonator metamaterial structure in its ground plane which is used to improve the performance of the regular patch antenna. In this research work FR4 substrate with dielectric permittivity of 4.4 and height of the substrate is 1.6 mm is used for manufacturing the proposed metamaterial antenna. The proposed antenna having 40 mm length and 30 mm width dimension. This metamaterial antenna is designed with an integral based solver simulation software called CST Microwave studio v2019 and obtained VSWR < 1.5, Return loss of -12 dB and Bandwidth of 230 MHz, gain of 2.11 dBi at the resonant frequency of 2.3 GHz. The proposed metamaterial antenna is suitable for 4G WiMAX services.
