Metamaterial Inspired CPW Fed Multiband Antenna for IOT Applications

This paper presents a multi-band coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed antenna of size 47mm × 43 mm x 1.6mm with hexagonal patch implementing on a FR4 substrate with permittivity 4.6 and loss tangent of 0.001 based on metamaterial structure. Hexagonal ring technique is used to create multiple band of required frequency. Metamaterial structured antenna covers a frequency of 1.8 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5.2 GHz. It is suitable for the future 5G Internet of Thing (IoT) portable applications, WiMAX, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth applications. This antenna is designed and simulated results of return loss, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), radiation pattern using Ansys HFSS version 16
