High-Directivity Antenna Array Based on Artificial Electromagnetic Metamaterials with Low Refractive Index

Planar metamaterials (MTMs) with low refractive index are proposed as a cover in a high-gain patch antenna array configuration. This MTMs array antenna has the following features: the number of array elements significantly decreases compared with the conventional array; the elements spacing is large...
