Abstract

In this article, a metamaterial inspired microwave absorber is used to reduce the cross-polarization (XP) level of the radiated wave in microstrip antenna (MSA). A microwave absorber unit-cell has been analyzed and implemented to reduce the cross polarization (XP) level in a single element and a 2 × 2 microstrip patch array antennas. The antennas have been designed on a FR-4 substrate of thickness 0.8 mm at 10.1 GHz center frequency. The 2 × 2 patch array antenna with and without the absorbers have been experimentally verified for the S11 parameter, the radiation pattern, and the XP suppression in H-plane and a good comparison has been found.
