Abstract

In this paper, low profile planar Metamaterial-Inspired coplanar fed waveguide antenna is presented for WLAN and Ultra-Wideband applications. The antenna is based on a simple strip loaded to a rectangular patch and zigzag E-shape metamaterial-inspired unit cell. The idea behind the proposed antenna is to enable miniaturization effect. The proposed antenna can provide dual band operation, the first one is a Wi-Fi band at 2.45 GHz having impedance bandwidth of 150MHz, the second one is an ultra wide band extended from 4.2 GHz to 6.5 GHz. Two antennas are designed and fabricated with and without metamaterial-inspired loading. The simulated and measured results regarding Return loss (S11), Gain and Radiation pattern are discussed.
