A compact dual-band dual-mode metasurface-enabled antenna

In this paper, a compact dual-band dual-mode antenna based on metasurface technology is proposed. Through full-wave simulations, it is found that the proposed antenna can achieve broadside and end-fire radiation at two distinct operational frequency bands centered at 1.94 GHz and 2.50 GHz, respectively. The proposed antenna is a promising candidate for many emerging applications including on/off-body communication systems.
