Wideband meta-material-inspired reconfigurable antenna using Infinity Split Ring Resonator

Abstract

In this article, a reconfigurable antenna inspired by the broadband meta-material using the Infinity slotted ring resonator (I-SRR) is designed and computer-based for wireless communication. Antenna takes an infinitely split ring resonator as a radiator powered by a coplanare wave guide (CPW). The procedure for extracting parameters of the meta-material property of the I-SRR is discussed in detail, by which the existence of negative permeability and the new resonance frequencies are verified. The proposed antenna has advantages of simple design, miniaturisation that can be used for wireless mobile communication system.
