Double Negative Material-Based Miniaturized Passive Planar S-Shaped Radiator

Metamaterials are formed by inclusions in material components to achieve qualitatively new physical realizable properties and responses that do not be readily available in nature. This field has gathered a wide research interest in recent years. This paper highlights the use of metamaterial concept in the size reduction and increasing the performance of an antenna. Here, a planar microstrip s-patch antenna is proposed for the LTE band 2.6 GHz. The achievement of compact size in the antenna has been a greater advantage, which helps in making the designed antenna for the LTE-WLAN application with major concentration on Fresnel region.
