Abstract
In this paper we propose an approach for designing wideband metamaterial antennas. Our design is based on the wave-slow down provided by coupled-TL (Transmission Line) sections that emulate anisotropic volumetric media (Photonic Crystals). These sections are used to couple antenna elements arranged in an array, thus leading to very large bandwidths (10:1) even when the array is conformally installed on a ground plane.
