ENHANCED THE PARAMETERS OF COMPACT MICROSTRIP ANTENNA BY USING LEFT HANDED METAMATERIAL (LHM)

This paper is presented as a design of Left-Handed metamaterial which upgrades the performance of a compact microstrip patch antenna (MPA). First of all design the compact microstrip patch antenna, then simulate it with and without metameterial. The result indicates that the metamatarial based microstrip antenna has enhanced the parameter of compact microstrip antenna. The directivity of antenna is increased from 3.30dBi to 5.52 dBi. The Gain of antenna increased from 2.59dB to 3.71dB. The return Loss improved from -12db to -35.63db. The bandwidth of antenna increased from 82 MHz to 109 MHz.
