<abstract>This paper provides details on how to enhance antenna performance and size reduction using Split Ring Resonator (SRR). The size and weight of various wireless electronic systems have been rapidly reduced due to the development of modern integrated circuit technology. Microstrip Patch Antennas (MPA) are increasing in popularity for the use in wireless applications due to their low-profile structure, light weight, low cost of production and they can also be easily integrated with microwave integrated circuits, but it also has some disadvantages. Lower gain and narrow bandwidth are the major drawbacks of a patch antenna. In this paper, the authors present a metamaterial concept for enhancing Microstrip Patch Antenna’s performance. Metamaterials are artificial materials characterized by same parameters generally not found in nature, but are engineered. Metamaterial structure consists of Split Ring Resonators (SRRs) to produce negative permeability and negative permittivity.</abstract>
