Left handed metamaterial incorporate with microstrip antenna array design and analysis

This paper describes and analyzes a new structure of left-handed metamaterial (LHM) which consists of a modified square rectangular split ring (MSRR) and a capacitance loaded strip (CLS) used to obtain LHM structure. Simulation and analysis was done using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) softwar...
