A Novel Metamaterial-Inspired UWB and ISM Multiband Antenna for Wireless Communications: Design and Characteristic Mode Analysis
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 136, 1-12, 2023
Abstract
This article introduces a new planar multiband antenna inspired by metamaterials. The design incorporates a split-ring resonator (SRR) on a printed monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication, generating a new resonant frequency within the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequency band. The effect of SRR-inspired slots was examined using characteristic mode analysis (CMA), revealing that the placement of the SRR on the antenna's radiating structure created multiple resonant modes. To improve impedance matching, the ground plane of the antenna was modified. The antenna was fed using a 50 Ω microstrip line. The proposed antenna was simulated and fabricated on an inexpensive FR4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm, a dielectric constant of 4.4, and dimensions of 38×40 mm2. To validate the simulation results, the antenna parameters were measured. The results showed that the proposed antenna is capable of covering both the ISM frequency band (2.2-2.5 GHz) and the UWB frequency band (3-26 GHz). This makes it suitable for various wireless communication applications requiring UWB and ISM frequencies, offering a promising solution.
