An UWB antenna with metamaterial cladding in S/C band

A compact and easy fabricated ultra-wideband antenna is proposed in this paper. It comprised of.a monopole antenna and a single-side I-shaped structure (ISS) metamaterial (MM) cladding. The monopole.itself resonates at 2.4 GHz and presents capacitive impedance at 4.8 GHz. The MM cladding resonates.a
