High‐gain omnidirectional patch antenna for conformal application based on near‐zero‐index metamaterials

Abstract Achieving a high‐gain omnidirectional patch antenna with low profile is a challenging task. On the basis of improving antennas by metamaterials, a broadband near‐zero‐index metamaterial (NZIM) is designed to enhance the horizontal gain of the omnidirectional patch antenna. The zero‐index me...
