摘要：A novel compact design for bandwidth enhancement of rectangular microstrip array is presented in thispaper. The basis for achieving the bandwidth enhancement is through metamaterial structure. Two types ofmetamaterial namely EBG and DSG are studied. Metamaterial structures are used for further antenna performanceimprovement, which suppress surface waves and improve the design characteristics. In this paper two cross slots cuts inthe ground plane, which enhance the bandwidth of reference antenna. This shape produces bandwidth ranging from15.30 GHz to 17.66 GHz, gives impedance bandwidth of 2.3649 GHz, whereas reference antenna without DSG ishaving impedance bandwidth of 290 MHz.
