Abstract
Our new metamaterial structure patch antenna improves the gain of ordinary metamaterial patch antenna. The structure of new metamaterial cover is made by removing central $7{\times}7$ lattices out of $9{\times}9$ lattices. Also, the metamaterial covers can be easily fabricated using ordinary substrates. Measurement results of a patch antenna, a metamaterial patch antenna and our proposed metamaterial patch antenna show that the gain of the proposed metamaterial patch antenna is about 3dB higher than that of the ordinary metamaterial patch antenna.
