Abstract

We present micro strip patch antenna incorporated with left-handed metamaterial at 2.4GHz. The proposed antenna utilizes metamaterial structure in the height of 3.2mm from the ground plane. This paper shows the comparison between the micro strip patch antenna using alone and loaded with metamaterial structure with the improvement in antenna gain and reduction in return loss at the same resonant frequency. By use of this combination it has been seen that there is an improvement of return loss of around 6 dB. These structures are simulated using IE3d Electromagnetic simulator of Zeland software incorporation.
