A Metasurface Integrated Patch Antenna for 2.4 GHz Wireless Applications

The main focus this study involves designing a 2.4 GHz microstrip patch antenna integrated with a 3×3 metasurface layer and examining the enhancement of antenna performance utilizing the metasurface layer. The suggested configurations are simulated using CST studio suite, and the parameters were carefully optimized for the metasurface integrated patch antenna. The outcome reveals that the metasurface integrated antenna surpasses the conventional antenna performance by enhancing antenna's gain from 3.03 dB to 4.22 dB, increasing bandwidth from 5.13% to 7.97%, with a better radiation pattern profile and, efficiency improvement up to 10%. The proposed metasurface integrated antenna has the possibility of use in several wireless communication systems such as mobile cellular systems, radar systems, wireless sensor networks, satellite communications etc.
