Abstract


The work represented in the paper proposes a miniature Metamaterial (MTM) antenna using Split Ring Resonator (SRR) for Microwave Imaging applications. This SRR is fed using a single microstrip line. For structure optimization, parametric study is exploited, which helps in obtaining impedance bandwidth over the UWB frequency range (3.1 to 9.9 GHz). Entire structure is built on a FR-4 (εr = 4.3) Glass Epoxy substrate of dimensions of 13*12*1.6 mm. The design is simulated using CST Studio Suite v2019. Simulation results show that the return loss is less than -10dB and the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is less than 2 within the operating range of frequencies.
