ABSTRACT
A microstrip dipole antenna with SRRs is shown in Figure 8.1. A microstrip-loaded dipole antenna with SRR provides horizontal polarization. The slot antenna provides vertical polarization. The resonant frequency of the antenna with SRR is 400 MHz. The resonant frequency of the antenna without SRR is 10% higher. The antennas shown in Figure 8.1 consist of two layers. The dipole feed network is printed on the first layer. The radiating dipole with SRR is printed on the second layer. The thickness of each layer is 0.8 mm. The dipole and the slot antenna create dual polarized antenna. The computed S11 parameters are presented in Figure 8.2.
