Abstract
This article presents a novel electrically small asymmetric coplanar strip (ACS) fed metamaterial inspired antenna for quad band operation. A metamaterial inspired open split ring resonator (OSRR) is the radiator which is fed using ACS to obtain four operating bands. The proposed antenna with a compact size of 18 mm × 15.5 mm × 1.6 mm is fabricated and tested. The experimental results are in good compliance with simulated ones. The proposed electrically small antenna has a radian sphere (ka) of 0.65 and achieves an average gain of 2.24 dBi with requisite radiation properties suitable for WiMAX and WLAN applications.
