Abstract

Microstrip antennas are widely employed in communication system and seekers. Printed antennas provided attractive features such as low profile, low weight and low production cost. These small printed antennas suffers due to narrow bandwidth and low gain. To overcome the drawback, metamaterial technology comes into picture. Metamaterial is used to design a small printed antenna with high gain and wider bandwidth. A survey of various techniques used in Metamaterial based print antennas are presented in this paper.
