Amateur satellite operations in the frequency range 5.830 to 5.850 GHz for down-links and 5.650 to 5.670 GHz for up-links are allowed by International Telecommunication Union. The X-band is used for terrestrial broadband communication, radar applications, and portions of the X-band are assigned for deep space telecommunications. In this paper, a design of 4 × 1 Ultra Wide Band (UWB) antenna array for C-band and X-band applications is introduced. Metamaterial sixteen-unit cells are incorporated into each antenna element for radiation characteristics enhancement purposes. Permeability and permittivity of metamaterial unit cells are obtained all over the operating bandwidth. UWB unequal power divider is used to feed the proposed four elements antenna array based on Chebyshev excitation method. The proposed antenna has a suitable 3 dB beam width and gains all over the operating bandwidth which extends from 5.6 GHz to 10.9 GHz. The proposed antenna covers 60% and 72.5% of the C-band and X-band, respectively. The proposed antenna is fabricated, measured, and good agreement is obtained between simulated and measured results. The obtained performance ensures the suitability of the proposed antenna array for C-band and X-band applications.展开更多
We have designed a Metamaterial unit-cell for 9 GHz frequency.

Periodic structure was used at 4.25 × 4.25 mm with a thickness of 0.35 mm and giving us the 99.99% of absorbance at 9 GHz in simulated results. We have implemented a rectangular microstrip antenna and loaded it with Metamaterial unit-cells which provided improved results. There were results available for reflection coefficient (s11 parameter) at 9 GHz and also helping for the reduction of the Radar Cross Section of an antenna, which reduced more than 20 dB and not affected its directivity and gain.展开更多
