Comments on results and scope of
improvement
Difference between simulation and measured results are
observed due to…
1.FR4 material used as substrate which is lossy having loss tangent equal
to 0.017. Instead of FR4 I would like to use rogers material having loss
tangent equal to 0.0021 to minimize losses.

2.Soldering imperfections are also one of the reason while making

hardware from software design.

3.The results are measured in open space that may create reflections from
nearby metallic objects which in turn disturb the resonance frequency in
results.

 Future work
 Next design of metamaterial antenna will make use of new technique by
using active devices like PIN diode or Varactor diode for the
achievement of narrow bands in mentioned LTE bands. Active devices
are used for frequency tuning in design.
 A paper on the work done for new design will be published in standard
journal.
