In this paper, a high refractive index-based metamaterial Bi-convex lens superstrate for the gain enhancement of broadside radiating antennas like microstrip antennas is presented. Fundamentally, an effective HRI medium is created by the Single Ring Split Ring Resonator unit cells printed on an FR-4. By stacking the multiple layers of the superstrate, a virtual HRI-based equivalent Bi-convex lens is constructed to focus the incoming diverged beam from a patch antenna. A gain enhancement of 4.42 dB is achieved with the help of a 3-layer HRI-based Lens superstrate. The simulation and measurement results are also almost agreed on the same.
