Miniaturization of a Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna Loaded with Metamaterial Year: 2013 Volume: 7 Issue: 4 354 - 357 Pages Authors: Anahita Ghaznavi Jahromi Farzad Mohajeri Nooshin Feiz Abstract: In this paper a novel structure of metamaterial is proposed in order to miniaturize a rectangular microstrip patch antenna. The metamaterial is composed of two nested split octagons which are located on a 10 mm Keywords: Metamaterial miniaturization patch antenna sub- wavelength resonance.
