Sažetak

Recent numerical study predicted phenomenon of a gain increase of a shortened horn antenna with the help of embedded double-thin-wire ENZ metamaterial slab. Here, we perform an experimental investigation of shortened horn antenna (length of which spans 52% of the length of optimal horn) with much simpler single-wire ENZ slab operated in 10 GHz band. Measurements revealed gain increase of more than 2 dB (comparing to the gain of a bare shortened horn) in 12% fractional bandwidth, with return loss better than -13 dB.
