Abstract :
In this work, the electric field coupled resonator (ELC) metamaterial element is used to meet the aforementioned design constraints for making a practical Wi-Fi antenna. Using these compact metamaterial elements, we can create multiple resonances with unbalanced currents for making single-ended antennas at arbitrary frequencies.
