Design of High-Gain and Beam Steering Antennas Using a New Planar Folded-Line Metamaterial Structure

In the last few years, there has been growing interest in employing metamaterials (MTMs) to enhance antenna gain. In this paper we proposed a novel structure of planar folded-line left-handed metamaterial (FL-LHM) and applied it to improve the gain of three 5.8 GHz microstrip antenna types: a circul...
