Abstract
Metasurfaces have emerged as a cutting edge technology towards possible applications ranging from optical to microwave regime. This chapter deals with the design of microstrip patch antenna loaded with metasurface superstrate for antenna performance enhancement. Planar patch antennas found extensive applications in the field of radar systems, telemetry applications and mobile communication due to its attractive features like small size, low cost, low profile and easy fabrication. However, these antennas are incompatible to wide-spread applications due to its narrow bandwidth and low-gain characteristics. The proposed metasurface superstrate improves the antenna’s performance such as bandwidth and gain without affecting operating frequency.
