Abstract

The design of a Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) embedded compact Asymmetric Coplanar Strip (ACS) fed monopole antenna is presented in this paper. By incorporating the ACS feed, a substantial reduction of 27% in antenna dimensions is achieved. Further miniaturization of 68.6% is obtained by embedding CSRR on the designed patch and a trapezoidal ground. The overall size of the antenna is 13.2 × 27 × 1.6 mm³, and it is printed on an FR4-epoxy substrate. The antenna operates with a resonant frequency of 3.6 GHz and a bandwidth of 3.3 GHz (3.2-6.5 GHz). Thus it is appropriate for sub-6 GHz 5G applications. It exhibits a return loss of -28 dB and a gain of 2.8 dBi at the resonant frequency. The antenna is fabricated, and the measured results match well with the simulated ones. Being a simple, cheap, and uniplanar structure, the proposed antenna can meet the requirements of a modern wireless communication system.
