Abstract :
Numerous writers have hinted at the
necessity for broader bandwidth coverage of microwave
frequency communication employing tiny antennas, and
various solutions have been put forth. This study
presents a metamaterial-based microstrip triple band
antenna with operating frequencies of 2.4 GHz, 3.5
GHz, and 5 GHz proposed for X-band fifth generation
(5G) application. A metamaterial-based microstrip
antenna with integrated square complementary split
ring resonators (CSRR) was designed, simulated, and
analyzed. The design of microstrip patch was done
using transmission line equations, and analysis was
done using full wave model with the aid of Computer
Simulation Technology (CST) Studio software. Flame
Resistant (FR-4) substrate with a dielectric constant of
4.2 and thickness of 1.6 mm was chosen mainly for
maintaining compact antenna geometry. Bandwidths of
820 MHz, 1600 MHz, and 800 MHz were achieved at 2.4
GHz, 3.5 GHz, and 6 GHz by the proposed
metamaterial-based antenna. The proposed antenna
also showed good potential as it resonated equally at
higher frequencies beyond 12.7 GHz, broadening its
application horizon. Regarding the proposed antenna's
bandwidth performance, it is recommended to be
utilized for devices that are not as compact yet require a
wide range of frequency coverage.
