摘要

Abstract

A novel frequency-selective metamaterial with negative permittivity and permeability for improving directivity and gain of a helix antenna is presented in this paper. The proposed metamaterial is composed of two Z-shape resonators printed on opposite sides of a dielectric substrate. Two forms of multilayered cells are found to be suitable for antennas and waveguides applications. In addition

a new method of designing a metamaterial-based helix antenna is presented with high directivity and gain. A comparison on radiation properties is given between the conventional and the new metamaterial-based helix antennas. Two comparisons on radiation properties are performed: (1) the effect of proposed Z-structure on monopole

dipole

and helix antennas; (2) the effect of OE3

split-ring resonator (SRR)

and proposed Z-structure unit cells on the performance of helix antennas. The results show improvement of parameters such as directivity

gain

and radiation power of the new metamaterial-based helix antenna. Therefore

the combination of Z-structure with the helix antenna shows the best performance.
