Abstract :
In this paper, two novel ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna designs based on Composite Right-Left Handed (CRLH) Metamaterial (MTM) structures are elaborated. With CRLH MTM technology embedded, the proposed UWB antenna designs present best in class radiation bandwidth, efficiency, radiation pattern and polarization. All great figures of merits have been achieved based on ultra compact sized PCB antenna structures with convenient integration solution.
