Abstract:
1. A metamaterial antenna device comprising: a substrate structure; one or more metallization layers supported by the substrate structure and structured to include: a ground electrode formed in one of the one or more metallization and a plurality of electrically conductive parts formed in at least one of the one or more metallization layers, the plurality of electrically conductive parts including: one or more connecting units respectively mechanically engaging at least part of the substrate structure to a device enclosure and respectively electrically coupled to at least one of the plurality of electrically conductive parts, wherein the plurality of electrically conductive parts, the one or more connecting units, and at least part of the substrate structure are configured to form a composite left and right handed (CRLH) metamaterial antenna structure that exhibits a plurality of frequency resonances associated with the antenna signal.
