Abstract

This paper proposes two different types of metamaterial (MTM) antennas for fifth-generation (5G) mid-band frequency operation. The radiating patch of the proposed antenna is based on the combined Minkowski-Sierpinski carpet fractal structure. On the ground plane, two different types of MTM structures: Complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR), and Strip-gap are etched to enhance the overall bandwidth and gain of the antenna. The introduction of these structures on the ground plane also leads to antenna miniaturization. Both the proposed MTM structure based antennas resonate at 3.5GHz. The overall size of the two fabricated prototypes is 28×29.5 mm2 / 28×28.5 mm2, which shows the compactness of the proposed design by 43% / 42% as compared to the conventional microstrip patch antenna (MPA). The measured bandwidth/gain achieved by the proposed combined Minkowski-Sierpinski carpet fractal antenna (CMSFA) having CSRR MTM and strip-gap etched on the ground plane are 370 MHz / 2.42dBi and 440 MHz / 3.75dBi, respectively.
