Abstract:

In this paper a novel structure of metamaterial is proposed in order to miniaturize a rectangular microstrip patch antenna. The metamaterial is composed of two nested split octagons which are located on a 10 mm

Keywords: Metamaterial, miniaturization, patch antenna, sub- wavelength resonance.
