The uniplanar implementation of double periodic composite right/left‐handed (DPCRLH) symmetric unit cell is realized using coplanar waveguide and its analysis with parameter extraction are studied. DPCRLH symmetric unit cell is then experimentally validated. The open‐circuited DPCRLH resonator is formed from the DPCRLH unit cell which exhibited five resonance points. The simulated resonant frequencies of the resonator are 1.5494, 2.1968, 3.5072, 5.0438 and 6.089 GHz. A triple‐band antenna is designed from the last three resonant frequencies of the resonator. The antenna is horizontally polarized in all three bands. The measured co‐polarized gain of the antenna at the central frequencies of the three bands are 1.52 dBi (3.59 GHz), 3.67 dBi (5.1694 GHz) and 1.78 dBi (6.0925 GHz), respectively.
