Abstract

This paper presents a dual-band cascaded rectangular microstrip patch antenna array with a complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) for narrow-band wireless communication applications. The antenna array is fed with a microstrip feed line for proper impedance matching, and CSRR is loaded to generate dual-band characteristics. The CSRR-based proposed antenna radiators operate over two frequency bands, i.e. 100 MHz (3.06-3.16 GHz) and 110 MHz (4.36-4.47 GHz) with reflection coefficients (S₁₁ < -10 dB) of -23 dB and -32 dB. The gain of the proposed antenna array with CSRR is 5.03 dBi and 6.34 dBi at 3.1 GHz and 4.4 GHz respectively. In addition, S-parameters, radiation patterns, 3D gain characteristics, and surface current distribution at resonating frequencies are observed. The proposed antenna array is miniaturized in size and suitable for wireless communication applications.
