Microstrip antennas nowadays widely used in wireless communication systems because microstrip antenna has several advantages such as lightweight, easy to fabrication, and relatively low cost. However, the microstrip antenna also has a disadvantage, like a narrow bandwidth. The purpose of this study is to enhance the microstrip antenna bandwidth by adding the Split Ring Resonator (SRR) metamaterial with a directional radiation pattern. First, we conduct a literature study to determine the dimensions and the specification of the antenna. Then we simulate the antenna using CST Studio Suite. The simulation results show that the antenna bandwidth with SRR metamaterial increases almost400% rather than the conventional microstrip antenna. The gain of the proposed antenna is more than2 dBi with directional radiation pattern and horizontal polarization. © 2020 IEEE.
