According to a study from Dublin, Ireland, "This paper presents the analysis, design and measurement of novel, low-profile, small-footprint folded monopoles employing planar metamaterial phase-shifting lines. These lines are composed of fully-printed spiral elements, that are inductively coupled and hence exhibit an effective high-mu property."
"An equivalent circuit for the proposed structure is presented, validating the operating principles of the antenna and the metamaterial line. The impact of the antenna profile and the ground plane size on the antenna performance is investigated using accurate full-wave simulations," wrote T. Kokkinos and colleagues.
