Abstract
A fishnet based metamaterial MTM loaded rectangular microstrip patch antenna RMPA is proposed for THz applications The negative refractive index of the MTM has been displayed at frequency range between 105 and 11 THz This MTM can be used for improving the return loss gain and radiation efficiency of RMPA The return loss S11 and gain are found as −57 and 357 dB respectively In addition the bandwidth of −10 dB has been found as 82 The work reported here was carried out at Middle East Technical University–Northern Cyprus Campus METU–NCC It is supported by METU–NCC under the Grant No BAPFEN15D3 and partly supported by TUBITAK Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey under the Project No 114F091
