A rectangular microstrip patch antenna with “Fivefold Stave in Squares with Circular Disk” shaped meta material cover is designed and replicated at a height of 3.2 mm from the ground plane. The antenna along with the proposed metamaterial structure is designed to resonate at 2.95 GHz frequency. But the proposed metamaterial cover significantly reduces the return loss and increases the bandwidth, and gain of the antenna in comparison to rectangular microstrip patch antenna or previous author’s paper. The system is modelled by computer simulation technology software (CST-2010). With the help of CST-2010, the return loss, directivity, and radiation pattern of compact rectangular patch antenna operating at 2.95 GHz frequency and rectangular patch antenna along with designed metamaterial shape have been evaluated in this work.Keywords: Rectangular micro strip patch antenna (RMPA), double negative left-handed metamaterial, return loss (LH-MTM)
