Metamaterial-based design of microstrip antennas and other microwave structures have gained enormous popularity worldwide among researchers. The complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) is one of the most commonly used metamaterial structures in this direction. The CSRR structure yields a negative value of its effective permittivity at a narrow band near its resonant frequency. CSRR structure was initially proposed as a notch filtering element in microstrip transmission lines because of the negative permittivity. Later, the CSRR structure found its use in antennas and other microwave applications. The CSRR structure is reported to enhance the performance of a microstrip antenna in terms of its gain and bandwidth. In addition, CSRR structure is also used in the design of dual band antennas and antennas with integrated filters. This chapter deals with the practical design aspects relative to these applications of CSRR structures.

This chapter focuses on the application of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) techniques in overcoming the limitations of microstrip antennas in terms of several key parameters such as bandwidth, power-handling capacity etc. In this chapter the effectiveness of GAs is discussed in relation to Electromagnetic optimization. A matching network has been designed for single band and dual band matching of microstrip antenna using GA.
