Metamaterial Incorporated Planar Antenna for C-band Application- A Review

Abstract

Planar antenna has been widely used having an advantage of low weight, ease of fabrication & small size but it also has a disadvantage of having low gain, efficiency &narrow range of bandwidth. To overcome this limitation of narrow bandwidth, a review on microstrip planar antenna using metamaterials has been elaborated in this paper. Further paper describes introduction, basics of metamaterial structures, design of various antenna using metamaterial structures.
