Co-directional CSRR inspired printed antenna for locomotive short range radar

This research article presents a innovative design of printed antenna for 24 GHz ultra-wideband (UWB) short range automotive radar applications by using techniques such as truncation of patch edges and inclusion of Codirectional CSRR metamaterial ring (MTM). The proposed MTM inspired antenna is having dimension of 5.2 × 4.75 × 0.8 mm3 which operates from 24.26 to 30.28 GHz. This article includes the detailed investigations such as surface current distribution on antenna, far field patterns and gain over frequency. Simulation data on return loss have shown good equality which proves the viability of the proposed antenna.
