Abstract
Abstract
In this study, the performance of two metamaterial-based antennas – transmit antennas with a double negative index (DNI) and receive antenna with an epsilon near zero (ENZ) material is described for image transfer application. These three-layered antennas are simulated and fabricated on Roger RO3003 substrate. The transmit antenna achieves a gain of 5.5 dBi and a bandwidth of 3.9 GHz, while the receive antenna reports a gain of 11.4 dBi with a 3-dB angular beam width of 32.5° at 5.8 GHz. These antennas are employed with a commercially available transmitter with a camera and receiver. Few images are captured at various distances and simultaneously transferred to the receiver. The images transferred wirelessly are found better in terms of the image quality score obtained using the Blind/Reference less Image Spatial Quality Evaluator (BRISQUE) method, compared to those transferred using the standard dipole antennas. So, the proposed metamaterial-based antennas are suitable for wireless image/video transfer applications.
