Multiband metamaterial truncated square microstrip-based radiating structure design

We have reported multiband meandered truncated square microstrip patch antenna loaded with metamaterial in this paper. The patch is meandered at edges and truncated at corners. Metamaterials are composite materials that provide some unique characteristics, which are not available in nature. The inclusion of these structures allows simultaneous operation over several frequencies. The antenna is designed to function in multiple bands in the frequency range of 0.5–2.0 GHz. The antenna has five working frequency bands and its center frequencies are 660, 950, 1330, 1580, and 1750 MHz for design 1. We have obtained design 2 by changing the slit size and the design has five working frequency bands. Design results are obtained by a high frequency structure simulator which is used for simulating microwave passive components.
