Abstract
SummaryThis research describes the detailed analysis and design of the compact complex‐free structural metamaterial quad band radiating element applicable for Bluetooth, WiMAX, WLAN, and fixed‐satellite service. The radiating element designed is composed of an inner angle‐rotated circular Split Ring Resonator (SRR) placed within the outer square‐shaped SRR interlinked by a strip to design the multiband operational characteristics and is fed by a coplanar waveguide. Suggested radiating element is imprinted over the FR4 substrate material with the electrical dimension of 28 × 31.26 × 0.8 mm3. The initial outer‐closed square ring offers dual‐band operation by resonating at 2.8 and 8.5 GHz frequencies, and the incorporation of a circular SRR offers quad‐band operation. The unique negative permeability feature of the proposed Square and Circular Split Ring Resonator (SCSRR) structure is extracted, and its band characteristics are analyzed. Results obtained from the simulated radiating element are validated with the fabricated antenna. The measured E plane pattern resembles a numeric eight shape, and the H plane pattern is omnidirectional. Suggested SCSRR antenna offers a gain of above 3.2 dBi in all the operating bands.
