“…In this work, the antenna characteristics, described by equations (2)-(6), were numerically computed by using the CST software. The FDTD technique was chosen for the numerical evaluation of the F-shaped printed dipole antenna [1], illustrated in Fig. 1, in order to obtain its return loss, here expressed by the S 11 parameter, input impedance Za and gain G. For the antenna simulation and construction it was used a double-sided copper fiber glass substrate, FR4, with characterized relative electric permittivity  r = 4.3 and loss tangent = 0.01.…”

A F-shapedprinted dipole antenna, designed to operate simultaneously at 1.8 GHz, 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz is proposed in this work. The main challenge of the project is to find the antenna optimal geometry so that its gain has a higher value in the three operating frequencies in order to be efficiently applied it in the energy harvesting and wireless communication systems.To achieve the proposed operating condition, reduce the antenna return loss and enhance its bandwidth and gain a metamaterial surface was incorporated into its structure.All simulations and optimizations were performed using the Computer Simulation Technology software by employing the Finite Difference Time Domain technique for the electromagnetic equations evaluation. The antenna and metamaterial geometrical dimensions were optimized by using the Genetic Algorithm technique. Numerical and experimental evaluations were performed for the antenna with and without the metamaterial structure incorporated. The results obtained demonstrate the appropriately designed metamaterial ability to improve the antennas performance, increasing their bandwidth and gain and decreasing the return loss value.
