Complementary Split Ring Resonator on the Ground Plane for Wearable Antenna

We present the complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) metamaterials design on a ground plane structure to reduce the dimensions of the wearable antenna. The antenna is designed to work on the C-Band frequency as a candidate for the 5G network. The addition of the CSRR metamaterial structure on the ground can significantly reduce the antenna dimensions with a patch reduction of 49.7% and an antenna substrate reduction of 33.6%. This result shows a significant improvement when compared to CSSR methods on the patch antenna. The proposed antenna design is expected to meet wearable antenna specifications on 5G networks that have small dimensions and are compact but have high performance. It is easy to integrate for wireless monitoring systems for various applications.
