Abstract :
In this paper, a dual band metamaterial antenna is presented. The antenna consists of complementary split ring resonator (CSRR), slotted capacitor loaded strip (SCLS) and a via. The CSRR and SCLS enable the resonance frequency at 5.33 GHz and 2.39 GHz respectively for the dual band operation. The overall size of the antenna is 0.53λo × 0.52λo × 0.023λo (36 mm × 35 mm × 1.52 mm) at 2.39 GHz. The peak realized gains of 4.17 dBi and 2.2 dBi are obtained at 5.33 GHz and 2.39 GHz respectively. Simulated and measured reflection coefficient are presented and discussed.
