Abstract
Communication is important in society and antennas are needed to communicate effectively across large distances. Currently, the demands of transferring more data at a faster rate and over vast distances require new technology. One new proposed technology is metamaterials. This project introduced and examined metamaterials previously proposed in published literature using ADS and HFSS. Furthermore, this project proposed a new change to the published metamaterials by replacing interdigital capacitor with metal-insulator-metal capacitor and stub inductor with spiral inductor. The new proposal is then designed and simulated with Keysight ADS, Mathworks MATLAB, and Ansoft HFSS. The results show that the new design is more symmetric with greater peak directivity and peak gain at its center frequency.
