mm-Wave Metamaterial Antenna Design with Superstrate for B5G FR3 Bands Using Osprey Optimization Algorithm
In this work, we present an antenna design for operation between 21 and 23 GHz in the FR3 band for B5G and 6G operation. The proposed antenna uses a metamaterial super-strate for gain and bandwidth enhancement. We optimize the geometrical parameters using a recently proposed evolutionary algorithm, namely the Osprey Optimization Algorithm (OOA), which imitates the behavior of osprey in nature. The OOA finds a design with wideband operation and gain enchantment. The proposed low-profile antenna yields a peak gain of about 8.9 dBi around 22 GHz. The antenna exhibits a frequency band with a <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$S_{11} < -10 d B$</tex> ranging from 19.21 to 23.38 GHz.
