Abstract— A patch antenna and our proposed metamaterial patch antenna are simulated and compared. A high gain patch antenna using a single layer metamaterial superstrate with a near to zero refractive index (n) is proposed. The simulation results provide that the gain of the proposed antenna is increased by about 7dB. Consequently, the high gain antenna can be easily obtained by using our metamaterial superstrate.
