A Metasurface Integrated Wide Bandwidth High Gain Patch Antenna for X-band Applications
This paper presents a compact, wideband microstrip patch (MP) antenna integrated with a metasurface (MS) structure, specifically engineered for Xband applications. The antenna design incorporates a microstrip radiating patch with truncated corners, positioned on an FR-4 dielectric substrate, which functions as the primary radiating element. A metasurface layer, configured as a <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$4 \times 4$</tex> unit cell array, is implemented on a separate FR-4 substrate of identical dimensions and placed above the patch, acting as a superstrate to enhance electromagnetic performance. The proposed antenna achieves a −10 dB impedance bandwidth ranging from 8.29 GHz to 11.41 GHz, offering a total bandwidth of 3.12 GHz. It attains a peak realized gain of 5.88 dBi within the operating band. Due to its low profile, wide bandwidth, and high gain, this antenna is well-suited for deployment in satellite communication, telemetry operations, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data transmission systems.
