Abstract

This paper proposes one-dimensional antenna arrays of the four-element and the eight-element using composite materials. Firstly, the single element is designed to resonate at Zeroth-order using a pair of Double positive (DPS) and Epsilon negative (ENG) materials meta-structured transmission line (MTL). Secondly, three of 1:2 T-Junction power dividers and seven of 1:2 T-Junction power dividers based on micro-strip technology are designed for feeding the four-element and the eight-element array antennas, respectively. Finally, the proposed arrays are optimized using FEM-based simulation to operate at the frequency of 8,5 GHz. The simulated results show that both antenna arrays have Zeroth-order resonance (ZOR) property, in which the four-element array has a bandwidth spreading from 8.39 to 8.61 GHz and a maximum gain of 8.82 dB while the other one of the eight-element array is 8.39 – 8.60 GHz and 12.2 dB, respectively. The proposed array antennas can be used for wireless applications or mobile communications.
