Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) array antenna integrated with the double negative metamaterial superstrate is presented. The triangular metamaterial unit cell is designed by combining two triangular elements positioned in complementary on the same plane at different sizes. Such design with more gaps is used to excite rooms for more capacitance effects to shift the resonance frequency thus enlarging the bandwidth of the MIMO antenna. The unit cell is arranged in 7 × 7 periodic array created a superstrate metamaterial plane where the Cstray exists in parallel between the two consecutive cells. It is found that the existence of Cstray and gaps for each unit cells significantly influenced the bandwidth of the MIMO antenna. The higher value of the capacitance will lead to the negativity of permittivity. The superstrate plane is then located on top of the 4 × 2 MIMO with a gap of 5 mm. The integration resulted in improving the bandwidth to 12.45% (5.65-6.4GHz) compared to only 3.49% bandwidth (5.91-6.12GHz) of the MIMO antenna itself. Moreover, the negative permeability characteristic is created by a strong magnetic field between the complementary unit cells to have 14.05-dBi peak gain. Besides that, the proposed antenna managed to minimize the mutual coupling and improve the mean effective gain, envelope correlation coefficient, and multiplexing efficiency.

A five-Port Reflectometer (FPR) with the integration of ultra-wideband (UWB) Epsilon Negative (ENG) Double Split Ring Resonator (DSRR) metamaterial array is introduced in this paper for microwave imaging (MWI) application. The designed DSRR consists of two concentric rings with a split in each which are spatially rotated by 180°, formed an inverted structure to exhibit a wide negative epsilon bandwidth of 187 % (from 0.5 GHz to 15 GHz). The FPR is designed using a ring junction topology and semi-circularly curved inter-port transmission lines (TLs) which are placed between five equally spaced ports. Localizing the DSRR metamaterial in a periodic array of 5 × 4 at the ground plane of FPR lead to 79.79 % fractional bandwidth and reflection coefficient within the operating frequencies of 0.991 GHz–2.2576 GHz. Equivalent circuit model has been alluded with an intricate description of different array configurations of the metamaterial unit cell. Comparison of EM simulation and circuit simulation has been performed to validate the equivalent circuit model. It is found that the existence of stray capacitance, Cstray which is represented by the DSRR configurations, significantly influenced the resonant frequency and bandwidth of FPR. Measured results of the proposed design suits well with the simulations and prove higher efficacious applicability of the proposed design for microwave imaging application. A comparison of the reconstructed image also proves its suitability for the microwave imaging application.
