The document discusses the design of rectangular patch antennas using metamaterial substrates. It aims to reduce the size of conventional rectangular patch antennas by implementing defected ground structures (DGS) to create a metamaterial substrate. The document outlines the objectives, work, design methodology used, and expected results. Simulation results are expected to show that the metamaterial antennas can reduce the size of the antennas by 30-60% while improving performance metrics like return loss and bandwidth. Fabrication and testing will verify the simulation results.

3. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
• The main objectives of this project are:
i) To prove the concept of metamaterial.
ii) To reduce the size of rectangular patch
antenna by implementing metamaterial as
substrate.
iii) To compare the performance of DGS and
conventional antenna.
4. MY WORK
• the development of two rectangular patch

using DGS.
• substrates are then tested through simulation
using NRW method to find the metamaterial
functional frequency.
• both conventional and DGS antennas are
designed USING CST SOFTWARE
5. •All simulation for conventional and DGS

9. Different Parameters of Micro-strip
Antenna
•L = Length of the Micro-
strip Patch Element
•W = Width of the Micro-
strip Patch Element
•t= Thickness of Patch
•h = Height of the
Dielectric Substrate.
12. Feed Techniques:-
Micro-strip antenna can be feed by variety of methods.
This methods can be classified into two categories-
contacting and non-contacting. The foremost popular feed
techniques used are :-
• Micro-strip line.
• Co-axial probe
• Aperture coupling
• Proximity coupling
13. Microstrip Line Feed
• Microstrip line feed is a feeding method
where a conducting strip is connected to the
patch directly from the edge

inset cut shown by equation

l = the inset cut length
εr = Permittivity of the dielectric
L = Length of the microstrip patch
15. Advantages of Micro-strip Patch Antenna
•Light weight and low volume.
• Low profile planar configuration which can be easily made
conformal to host surface.
• Low fabrication cost, hence can be manufactured in large
quantities.
• Supports both, linear as well as circular polarization.
• Can be easily integrated with microwave integrated circuits (MICs).
•Capable of dual and multi frequency operations.
• Mechanically robust when mounted on rigid surfaces.
• useful in aircraft, satellites and missile applications,
16. Disadvantages:-
•Narrow bandwidth
•Low efficiency
•Low Gain
•Extraneous radiation from feeds and junctions
•Poor end fire radiator except tapered slot
antennas
• Low power handling capacity.
• Surface wave excitation.
17. APPLICATIONS
• The use of micro-strip
antennas for integrated
phased array systems.
• Used in GPS (Sat.
Navigational System)
technology.
• Mobile satellite
communications, the
Direct Broadcast Satellite
(DBS) system & remote
sensing.
• Non-satellite based
applications- such as
medical hyperthermia.
18. Many methods are used to reduce the size of
MPA like ----
using planar inverted F antenna structure (PIFA)
or using substrate with high dielectric constant
Defected Ground Structure (DGS) is one of the
methods to reduce the antenna size.
The substrate with DGS is considered as metamaterial
substrate when both relative permittivity, εr and
permeability, μr are negative.
19. • metamaterial antenna will have good performance and
smaller size to conventional one.
• . The metamaterial antenna behaves as if it were much
larger than it really is.
• extending the bandwidth, DGS approaches can also be
utilized.
Due to the increment of the side and back radiation. the
front lobe or main lobe will decrease which lead to
reduction in gain.
Conventional antenna follows the right-hand rule metamaterial
antenna follows the left-hand rule
•conventional antenna radiates at frequency of half wavelength of the
patch length while metamaterial antenna able to radiates having
smaller size of antenna
•project emphasize on obtaining the metamaterial using DGS
20. METAMATERIAL
• Metamaterial is a material having negative
relative permittivity and permeability. These
• two properties determine how a material will
interact with electromagnetic radiation.
• Metamaterial substrates are synthesized by
combining electric and magnetic dipole elements.

lines, (c) CSRRs,

22. DGS
• The concept of DGS arises from the studies of
Photonic Band Gap (PBG) structure which
dealing with manipulating light wave. PBG is
known as Electron Band Gap (EBG) in
electromagnetic application. They are actually
artificial periodic structures that can give
metamaterial behavior.
