Abstract :
A novel dual-polarization, metamaterial-based antenna for the 2.4 GHz band is presented. The basic element is a Zeroth-Order Resonator (ZOR) antenna, which consists of a cascade of unit cells of epsilon negative transmission line. Two elements are located on the same substrate, and their topology is optimized in order to obtain a low crosstalk between the two orthogonal polarizations.
