The Effect of the Metamaterial Superstrate to the Vertically Stacked Bandpass Filter Antenna Performances
نویسندگان
چکیده
The integration of metamaterial superstrate with high-quality cavity 3-poles stacked filter with patch antenna is presented. The metamaterial inspired behavior is obtained using split ring resonators (SRR) printed on the dielectric substrate Rogers 5880 which is located 12 mm from the top of the filter/antenna. The effects of the metamaterial structure on the vertically stacked filter/antenna performances at X-band with resonant frequency 10.18 GHz are investigated. The gain of the filter/antenna system improved from 6.99 dB to 8.22 dB while the radiation pattern become more directive without distorting the filtering response.

متن کاملMicrostrip Antenna Gain Enhancement using Near Zero Refractive Index Metamaterials
Some useful features of microstrip patch antennas are low profile, low weight and easy fabrication. However this type of antenna suffers from having a low gain, caused by propagation surface waves. In this paper, a new near zero refractive index metamaterial (MTM) unit cell is designed and fabricated as a superstrate over a Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antennas (RMPA). In order to obtain a maxi...

The subject of enhancing microstrip patch antennas directivity, using either a frequency selective surface (FSS) or a double-negative (DNG) metamaterial slab, has been investigated by a number of researchers in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to show that we can also achieve the same goal by using a much simpler design for the superstrate, namely a dielectric slab, whose performance ...
