The interference of a Metasurface in the performance of Microstrip Antennas
Antennas, Microstrip Antennas, Metamaterials, Metasurface
This work aims to present the influence of a metasurface, a special type of metamaterials, in the performace of microstrip antennas. We begin with a brief history of the antennas then we will present the microstrip antennas: definition, feeding methods and methods of analysis; and definitions and properties of metamaterials and metasurface. Finally, we will design a microstrip antenna with and without the use of a metasurface by HFSS Ansoft Designer software and make a comparative analysis of the various parameters of the antenna, such as return loss, power gain, directivity and input impedance.
