In this paper, we report a new design of a compact coplanar waveguide-fed printed antenna with complementary split ring resonator (CSRR). The designed antenna consists of two CSRRs, with same geometrical parameters, printed symmetrically into the top layer. The overall volume of the proposed antenna is only 30 × 20 × 0.8 mm3 (0.58 λ0 × 0.39 λ0 × 0.015 λ0), where λ0 is the wavelength of the simulated resonance frequency. The resonance frequency of the antenna is essentially defined by geometrical parameters of the CSRR, which makes it suitable for various wireless communication systems. The characteristics of the proposed antenna have been investigated using simulation software CST Microwave Studio and experimental results. The measured and simulated results show good agreement, providing a simple and low-cost design.
