Metamaterial Promoted Cpw-Fed Meander Line Antenna for Multiband Operation

The multiband operation is intended for WiMAX and WLAN application by using a cpw-fed meander line monopole antenna. The antenna structure contains an FR4 substrate with dimensions of 20 × 20 × 1.6mm
³
. A prototype antenna involves a ground plane and a cpw fed meander line monopole antenna to achieve multiband resonant frequencies. The radiating portion is used to cover the corresponding impedance matching of -10 dB . The multiband features of metamaterial-promoted meander line structure along with negative permeability (µ) properties are discussed in detail. The designed antenna will have a radiation configuration of Omnidirectional (H-plane) and dipole direction (E- plane). The multiband resonant frequencies are evaluated by using EM Software HFSS version 13.
