The simulated results reveal that the operating frequency becomes lower with left-handed (LH) characteristics of the CRLH-TL structures enhanced, which enable antenna physical size reduction to a large extent. The proposed antenna is fabricated on the substrate Rogers R03201 (relative permittivity of 10.2), which has a compact size of 12 mm×12 mm × 4 mm. Moreover, this antenna exhibits monopole-like radiation pattern at one resonance frequency and patch-like radiation at the other four resonant frequencies. Therefore, the designed antenna is useful for communication systems.展开更多
