A metamaterial inspired planar-patterned microstrip patch antenna, feeding on a Duroid substrate inset bottom ground soft-surface, is presented for ultra-wide band (UWB) applications. The present antenna is configured on a step-edge periodic unit-cell pattern, with a tiny air gap etched on the metal...
