| Abstract | This paper describes the design of a metamaterial planar antenna for multi-octave band operation. The metamaterial unit-cell comprises L-shaped slit which is etched inside a rectangular patch with grounded inductive spiral. The slit essentially behaves as a series left-handed capacitance and the spiral as a shunt left-handed inductance. The antenna was modeled and optimized for impedance bandwidth, gain and efficiency performance using commercial 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulation tools. The antenna has a measured impedance bandwidth of 6.02 GHz for S11 < -10 dB. This corresponds to a fractional bandwidth of 172.49 %, which is higher than multiband planar antennas reported to date. The antenna has a maximum gain and efficiency performance of 3.7 dBi and 73 %, respectively, at 3.25 GHz. The physical footprint of the antenna is comparable to other wideband planar antennas reported to date. The overall size of the antenna is 0.037λ0 × 0.027λ0 × 0.002λ0 and 0.25λ0 × 0.18λ0 × 0.017λ0, where λ0 is free-space wavelength at 0.48 and 3.25 GHz, respectively. |
