Abstract :
A compact antenna with metamaterial (MTM) for WiMAX is studied in this paper. The use of MTM has reduced the size of antenna remarkably. The bandwidth of the antenna sufficiently covers 3.45-3.75 GHz WiMAX bands. The measured result shows satisfactory performance and is good agreement with the simulated result.
