Abstract

A miniaturized rectangle-shaped complementary split ring radiating element with an offset-fed microstrip line is reported for multiband operations. The fabricated antenna with a compact size of 19×19×1.6 mm³ is designed on an FR-4 substrate with loss tangent tanδ = 0.02 and dielectric constant (ε_r) of 4.4. Multiband and antenna miniaturization are achieved by a complementary split ring radiating element, and it produces an impedance bandwidth of 40 MHz resonance at 3.03 GHz, 40 MHz resonance at 3.66 GHz, and 1470 MHz resonance at 5.5 GHz. The passband behaviour of the complementary split ring radiating element is studied in detail for obtaining multiband abilities of the miniaturized antenna. The metamaterial property of the complementary split ring radiating element is analyzed, by which the negative permittivity (ε) existence and the new resonance frequency are confirmed. The fabricated antenna shows optimum performance at the measured radiation characteristics.
