Abstract
This paper investigates six bands printed antenna integrated with eight shaped 8 x 7 periodic arrays as superstrate, circular ring, and Rectangular shaped Split Ring Resonator (RCSRR) as the radiating portion and half ground plane, respectively. The superstrate antenna, along with an array of patches, plays a major role in improving the gain. The antenna structure uses Roger RT Duroid 5880 substrate and FR4 as the superstrate. The proposed design has a fractional bandwidth of about 6.25% (5.32–5 GHz), 8.2% (6.1–5.62 GHz), 2.6% (7.34–7.15 GHz), 3.26% (10.3–9.97 GHz), 7.2% (11.5–10.7) and 2.5% (14.72–14.36 GHz) respectively and it is suitable for modern wireless communication applications. The effect of different substrate materials in the designed antenna structure is also compared and modeled using CST 2019 version. The superstrate antenna shows satisfactory performance across all the resonant frequencies.
