Composite Right/Left Handed based Frequency Selective Surfaces for enhancement in performance of microstrip antennas Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • A novel Composite Right/Left Handed (CRLH) material based Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) for enhancement in performance of microstrip antennas has been designed and simulated. The FSS structure is realized by repeating an unbalanced CRLH unit cell in two dimensional form. The bandgap region of the unit cell extends from 2.4GHz to 6GHz. A microstrip patch antenna operating at 2.34GHz is designed on one side of the substrate and stacked up together with the CRLH based FSS. The performance of the patch antenna with and without the FSS was compared. An increase in gain of 1.9dBand an increase in the front-to-back ratio of 4.9dB was observed.
