A simple structured left-handed metamaterials composed of single square ring cell is fabricated.Its permittivity and permeability are simultaneously negative in 4.8-5.25 GHz.A 5.0 GHz microstrip antenna is proposed,and we use this single square ring structured left-handed metamaterials(SSR-LHMs) as covering layer.Simulation and experiment results show that compared with conventional microstrip antenna,the performance of the new microstrip antenna with SSR-LHMs has been improved remarkably.The -3 dB beam of E-plane and H-plane can be reduced r...
