In this study, a radiation pattern reconfigurable microstrip antenna is designed and fabricated. The antenna’s radiation pattern is directed in 9 different angles by employing a radiating patch and embedding complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) on the ground plane. The radiating patch is of circular shape, while for CSRR elements both circular and rectangular shapes are investigated. The ...

In this paper, suppression of mutual coupling is achieved using compact waveguided metamaterials (WG-MTMs) in between elements of a densely packed microstrip array. Both the E-plane internally folded complementary split ring resonator and the H-plane internally folded complementary split ring resonator are employed to reduce the mutual coupling between adjacent elements. Coupling suppression of...

In this paper, a simple method to obtain a notch in the ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter is presented. UWB bandpass filter is designed using ground plane aperture technique. To reject the undesired wireless local area network (WLAN) signals, a complementary single split ring resonator (CSSRR) is placed under the coupled lines of the bandpass filter. The CSSRR has flat insertion loss and goo...

In this paper, a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR)-loaded patch is proposed as a microfluidic ethanol chemical sensor. The primary objective of this chemical sensor is to detect ethanol's concentration. First, two tightly coupled concentric CSRRs loaded on a patch are realized on a Rogers RT/Duroid 5870 substrate, and then a microfluidic channel engraved on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) i...

A novel microstrip Coupler with Complementary SplitRing Resonator (CSRR) is simulated and fabricated. The CSRR structure in the grounded plane of a conventional microstrip double-line coupler, increases its even mode characteristic impedance. This results in a higher degree of coupling. The results of simulation and measurement show that the new coupler achieves a high degree of coupling (5 dB ...

In this paper, Hexagonal Split Ring Resonator (HSRR) and Square Split Ring Resonator (SSRR) are designed using HFSS simulation software. Both split ring resonators are based on the Metamaterial and same parameters. Then after compare the simulation result of HSRR and SSRR. HFSS simulation of the Hexagonal SRR shows improved Return Loss and VSWR i.e. -44.7 dB and 1 respectively compare to Square...

A proximity-fed annular slot antenna for UWB applications with a band rejection using different techniques is presented. The proposed antenna provides an UWB performance in the frequency range of ≈ 2.84 to ≈ 8.2 GHz with relatively stable radiation parameters. Three different techniques to construct a resonant circuit for the proposed antenna are investigated to achieve the band-notch property ...

We present microstrip patch antenna loaded with multiple split ring resonator substrate and superstrate. We analyze how the loading of split ring resonator superstrate and substrate can improve the bandwidth compared to the simple microstrip patch antenna and microstrip patch antenna loaded with split ring resonator superstrate. Another important observation is made for multiple split ring reso...
