Meta-material Lens Embedded 5.8 GHz Wide Band Patch Antenna for Wireless Communication

This paper describes the designing of a highly efficient and compact wide band micro-strip patch antenna for wireless communication.The antenna is designed to transmit at 5.8 GHz frequency (ISM band) which is primarily used in wireless LAN. The main contribution of the paper is the integration of meta-materials lens with rectangular micro-strip patch antenna, in order to achieve high gain, enhanced beam directivity and wide bandwidth. Incorporation of meta-material embellishes the performance of the antenna, as it encompasses the exceptional properties. Overall, the designed antenna offers augmented bandwidth (7.558%), improved gain (7.652 dB), improved directivity (7.938 dBi) and more concentrated beamwidth (64.7 Deg.).This paper provides the performance analysis of meta-material uniform lens embedded wide band patch antenna and illustrates various plots viz. 3D radiation & polar plot, VSWR plot, Reflection loss and power utilization plots.
