چکیده
This paper describes the design and simulation of the new Ɛ negative metamaterial unit cell structure and then the unit cells are combined to form 3D array which use as metamaterial cover with a single microstrip patch antenna. The new Ɛ negative metamaterial is based on the ELC resonator structure, which is used for obtaining the negative value of permittivity and positive value of permeability. Simulation result shows that the gain of the antenna has been increased with metamaterial cover up to 1.46db .This has to proven that metamaterial as a cover enhance the directive properties of conventional microstrip patch antenna.

Microstrip 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...
