A novel fork monopole antenna is presented using metamaterial structures. The prototype monopole antenna consists of split-ring-resonators (SRR) as an electric-LC resonator and small ground. To prove the concept, the prototype antenna is designed and fabricated for wireless communication systems. The monopole structure makes ultra wideband (UWB) impedance bandwidth condition for 2- 12 GHz. On the other hand, the prototype antenna shows dual notch band characteristics at 3.5-4.5 GHz and 5.3-6 GHz for WiMAX and WLAN rejection. The prototype antenna radiates omnidirectionally and has a gain altered between −4.5 and 6.2 dBi in 2.5-12 GHz, with an average gain of 4.2 dBi. The metamaterial model is suggested for the CRLH (ELC) resonator, and in addition, the parametric study for CRLH (ELC) resonator is presented for clarification of its manner on resonance controlling. Here, the final model antenna is fabricated on an FR-4, and experimental results are compared with simulations.
