Size reduction in microstrip based meandered radiating structure using artificial substrate

Abstract

Magnetic properties were imparted to a naturally nonmagnetic material by metallic inclusions. In this paper, microstrip based meandered radiating structure using artificial substrate has been reported. Here metallic split ring resonators are added in the conventional dielectric substrate to make artificial substrate material. The patch size is reduced 50% using the artificial material. Comparison of artificial substrate material design and conventional material design is shown in this paper. Artificial substrate Design has one band at 0.64 GHz centre frequency. Design results are obtained by a HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) which is used for simulating microwave passive components.
