A compact new ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna using planar metamaterial (MTM) structures is proposed. The antenna is designed with a double-side planar periodic cell structure. The proposed 3-D unit cell show an artificial negative electric permittivity medium (NEPM), exhibiting a wide electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) created by etching four L-shaped slots on the main square patch and crossed-shaped slots on the ground plane. The proposed antenna fabricated on a 1.52 mm low-cost Rogers RO4003C substrate, is compact, measuring 22.4 ( 25.6 mm2, with a relative permittivity of 3.38 and a loss tangent of 0.0027. It has a broad bandwidth covering 3.8 GHz to 17.7 GHz, relatively 129%. The average gain over the entire bandwidth is 5.44 dB, with a peak value of 8.55 dB at 15.5 GHz. Design and simulation were carried out using the finite integration technique (FIT)-based CST microwave studio. The measured return loss (S11) of the prototype was in good agreement with the simulated results. The proposed antenna shows satisfactory radiation efficiency, achieving between 80% and 93% over the whole band. The measured gain of the test antenna demonstrates favorable radiation characteristics and shows the stability of radiation patterns at low frequencies. A comparative study with the related literature reviews recently published highlights the compactness of our MTM antenna configuration, presenting a reduction factor between 43.13% and 56.25%. Due to its outstanding performance, the proposed design is positioned as a strong candidate for various UWB applications, and also can be used for satellite communications and radar applications. |
