Dual-Band Microstrip Antenna Based on Polarization Conversion Metasurface Structure

Abstract

A dual-band microstrip patch antenna (MPA) based on a polarization conversion metasurface structure was designed. By etching the complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) on the ground plane, a new resonance frequency is generated. The proposed antenna is obtained through optimizing the structural parameters of CSRR. Compared with the antenna without CSRR, the return loss of the proposed antenna increases by ~40% at the original resonance frequency. The measured results are similar to the simulated results, verifying the reliability of the antenna. This work introduces a new way of designing multi-band antenna.
