Cylindrical Antenna Using Near Zero Index Metamaterial

Abstract

A cylindrical antenna includes: a hollow cylinder having a height, an inner radius b, an axis, a cylindrical surface, and two ends; a ground plane on one end of the cylinder; an antenna wire extending from a center of the cylinder at one end on a ground plane along the axis and ending below the height of the cylinder; and a layer of near zero index (NZI) metamaterial surrounding and adjacent to the cylindrical surface.
