The hybrid termination if formed by short circuit loading coupled to open loading through air gap capacitor. A novel antenna operates at 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz with antenna dimensions 21�30 mm2 (only 9% compared to conventional microstrip antenna). The proposed new termination has resulted in increasing the electrical length of the open circuit composite right left handed antenna by 20%. for the same physical dimensions. The proposed antenna theoretical concepts is explained. The antenna performance is validated by full wave simulation and experimental measurements. � 2015 IEEE.EnglishOctober University for Modern Sciences and Artsجامعة أكتوبر للعلوم الحديثة والآدابUniversity of Modern Sciences and ArtsMSA UniversityHybrid termination of metamaterial CRLH antennasConference Paperhttps://doi.org/10.1109/APS.2015.7304982
