Sea Lion Optimized Eight Shaped Split Ring Resonator

An eight shaped split ring resonator (ES-SRR) is proposed which can be used in size reduction and overall performance enhancement of patch antennas. A unit cell ES-SRR is designed using sea lion optimization technique which is convenient compared to conventional methods. Outer radius, gap and width of the concentric circles are optimized in order to achieve resonance frequency of 2.45 GHz. This proposed unit cell is fabricated and tested.
