Abstract
This paper illustrates the application of metamaterial inspired unit cells in the patch as well as the ground plane to obtain a compact hexaband antenna. Distinct bands were obtained at various frequencies for GPS-L1 (1.575 GHz), GSM (1800/1900 GHz), UMTS (B2/B1), WLAN (2.4 and 5.5 GHz) and WiMAX (2.5 and 3.5 GHz). This was achieved while keeping the antenna dimensions limited to 30 × 30 × 1.6 mm3 resulting in a miniaturized antenna. The proposed antenna has a size of 0.1575λ0 . The antenna was fabricated and tested to verify the simulated results.
