Characteristics of Microstrip Fractal Antenna Shape Covered by Modified Split Ring Resonator

Metamaterials exhibiting negative index of refraction has attracted a great amount of attention in recent years. These materials are artificial structures that exhibit characteristics not found in nature. Microstrip antennas covered by metamaterial are one of the interesting areas of study. In this paper fractal shape antenna is proposed and covered by two layers of modified split ring resonator. The results shows an enhancement in Reflection Coefficients, gain, directivity and far field shapes.
