Abstract

Performance enhancement of microstrip patch antenna using metasurface provides a thorough analysis of how a metasurface integration technique might improve the performance of a microstrip patch antenna. The 4×4 array of square components metasurface measuring 51.6 × 51.6 × 3.1016 mm is merged with the microstrip patch antenna, which has dimensions A=13.5 mm, B=12 mm, and C=1.2 mm. The radiation box dimensions (100 mm × 100 mm × 55 mm), and substrate materials (Taconic 26 D Material and foam) are among the characteristics that are taken into account. The results show that the suggested integration is a useful way to improve the performance of microstrip patch antennas since they show notable increases in bandwidth and gain throughout a variety of frequency ranges. Microstrip patch antennas (MPA) are a common component of many different communication systems because of their conformability, low profile, and ease of production. Nevertheless, they are frequently constrained by high surface wave losses, low gain, and narrow bandwidth. Using metasurfaces, which are artificially constructed structures with special electromagnetic properties, has shown to be a successful way to get around these restrictions. The present research delves into the function of metasurfaces in augmenting the efficiency of MPAs, with particular attention to gain, bandwidth, and radiation efficiency.
