This work builds a metamaterial (MTM) superstrate loaded on a patch of microstrip antenna for wireless communications. The MTM superstrate is made up of four G-shaped resonators on FR-4 substrate with a relative permittivity of 4.4 and has a total area of (8×16) mm2, and is higher than the patch. The MTM superstrate increases antenna gain while also raising the input reflection coefficient. When it is 9 mm above the patch, the gain increased from 3.28 dB to 6.02 dB, and when it is 7 mm above the patch, the input reflection coefficient was enhanced from -31.217 dB to -45.8 dB. When the MTM superstrate loaded antenna was compared to the traditional unloaded antenna, it was discovered that metamaterials have a lot of potential for improving antenna performance.

In this paper, a new design for microstrip patch antenna strain sensors is proposed. The new antenna sensor works based on the meandered microstrip patch antennas. It is threefold more sensitive than previously proposed circular microstrip patch antenna strain sensors. Also, the overall physical dimension of the new antenna sensor is reduced by the factor of five. The current sensor is able to detect strain in all directions. In order to design the antenna sensor, two available commercial FEM software packages ANSYS™ and HFSS™ are used. Both experimental and FEM results corroborate the multidirectional feature of the new antenna sensor. Also, the effect of the hole size in the structure (for coaxial connection to the antenna) on the antenna performance has been studied. Based on the results obtained, the antenna sensor can be recommended for use in structural health monitoring for strain-based damage detection in aerospace structures.

In this work, a broadband high gain frequency selective surface (FSS)-based microstrip patch antenna is proposed. The dimensions of the microstrip antenna and proposed FSS are [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. A broadband high gain reference antenna has been selected to improve antenna performance. The reference antenna offers 1.2[Formula: see text]GHz bandwidth with 6.03[Formula: see text]dBi peak gain. Some modifications have been done on the patch and ground plane to enhance the bandwidth and gain. The impedance bandwidth of 7.70[Formula: see text]GHz (3.42–11.12[Formula: see text]GHz) with 4.9 dBi peak gain is achieved by the microstrip antenna without FSS. The antenna performance is improved by using FSS beneath the antenna structure. The maximum impedance bandwidth of 7.70[Formula: see text]GHz (3.32–11.02[Formula: see text]GHz) and peak gain of 8.6[Formula: see text]dBi are achieved by the proposed antenna with FSS. Maximum co- and cross-polarization differences are 21[Formula: see text]dB. The simulation and measurement have been done using Ansoft Designer software and vector network analyzer. The measured results are in good parity with the simulated one.

Over last few decades, wireless communication system has sought more attention and plays predominant role in different areas for human personal and commercial applications. Day by day, with advancements in technology, wireless gadgets got more compact due to microelectronics fabrication and integration techniques. So, such applications put great demand over new design specifications on antenna structures used in transmitter and receiver for radio wave communication. In wireless applications depending upon, frequency bands and bandwidth requirements numerous compact antenna structures are used with improved efficiency. Microstrip patch antennas are highly regarded due to its compact size, easy integration with microwave circuits. In study of patch antenna, Defected Ground structures gain popularity these days due to its various benefits to enhance antenna performance. This research article, provides extensive literature survey over use of Defected Ground Structures (DGS) in microstrip patch antenna with its design consequences. This article also explores the enhancement in antenna parameters with implementation of DGS’s. DGS concept is used in microstrip patch antenna and microwave engineering for performance improvement of these devices. DGS can be merged with other techniques to enhance antenna operational parameters like gain, bandwidth, VSWR and spurious radiations.
