Abstract: We present the design and analysis of a novel modified H-shaped split ring resonator (SRR) metamaterial. It has negative permeability and permittivity characteristics with multi-band resonance for the X, Ku, and Ka frequency bands. Different configurations of the patch antenna have been analyzed with different orientations and positions of the metamaterial. Optimized performance was achieved with the new shape of the metamaterial antenna with an appreciable 9 dB gain, 77 GHz bandwidth, 100% radiation efficiency, and 65% reduction in active area. The second-order fractal metamaterial antenna achieves high miniaturization on the order of 1/21. This is truly a boon in the communications world, as a sharp beam with smaller physical dimensions is urgently required.
