Abstract
This paper describes a split square-shaped metamaterial (MTM) design which was applied for the performance enhancement of a rectangular-shaped microstrip patch antenna (MPA). A proposed split square-shaped MTM-based microstrip patch antenna resonates at two frequencies, 18.57 GHz and 25.24 GHz. In both cases, the bandwidths were obtained at 2 GHz and 6.72 GHz respectively. The proposed antenna was designed on FR-4 substrate material, with the dimensions of 20×20 mm2. For the performance investigation, the MTM was placed first at the front side of the antenna and subsequently placed at the back side of the antenna. It was found that the antenna showed better performance when the MTM was placed at the back side of the antenna instead of the front side. The wide bandwidth, high directivity and enhanced gain have made the antenna a potential one for the 5G communication.
