A study on applications of meta-material based antennas

In this paper we have described simulated as well as experimental results concerning miniaturization and enhanced performance of antennas using Metamaterials. One of the objectives is to obtain devices more compact and their enhanced performance than previous results. Antennas presented here using Metamaterials or Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structures or Single Negative Structures (SNG) or Double Negative Structures (DNG) or Tunable Electromagnetic Band Gap Structures and Resonant Structures are more efficient than antennas without Metamaterials. We show that under proper conditions these materials are used for making Efficient, Miniaturized, Enhanced, Single band or Multiband Operating and Beam Steerable Antennas.
