Design and Analysis of Hybrid Feed Array for Metamaterial Loaded Microstrip Patch Antenna

In this paper, a novel design for meta material loaded rectangular microstrip antenna array has been proposed using hybrid feed combination. Metamaterial has been used as the substrate for single antenna to reduce its dimension and achieve dual band properties, while the hybrid combination of coaxial and microstrip feed has been used to accelerate the reduction of antenna array dimension. Moreover, with the help of meta material, dual-band operation with two different radiation pattern has also been achieved. To justify and analyze the performance of this novel design, different designs for 2 elements and 4 elements arrays have been proposed in this paper. In both arrays, the antennas and feeding network have been placed in two different layers. Unlike conventional array design, the feeding network has been designed using microstrip feed lines while coaxial feed cables have been used to connect the antennas to the feeding network. These designs successfully achieved almost 3 dB increase in the gain compared to the single element antenna. The arrays also provided smaller beamwidth and lower side lobe level.
