Abstract:

This paper describes an innovative approach to designing a microstrip patch antenna for television band applications that makes use of metamaterial structures. The antenna is specially designed with four strategically placed metamaterial unit cells on a triangle patch and thoughtfully placed rectangular slots on a portion of the ground plane. The feeding mechanism uses a microstrip line configuration. To evaluate performance, advanced simulations were performed using HFSS Software. The antenna exhibits remarkable bandwidth expansion, covering frequencies ranging from 3.07 GHz to 8 GHz, spanning the C band. With an S-parameter value of -40.04 dB and a gain of 3.056 dBi, this antenna is adaptable and offers solutions for a range of applications in modern communication systems. This antenna makes a significant contribution to the field due to its carefully designed choices and thorough evaluation. Its small form factor and wide frequency coverage enable it to meet the demands of modern communication technology. Additionally, the performance and suitability for real-world applications are further enhanced by the 1.6 mm-thick FR-4 antenna substrate.
