A proposed aperture coupled metamaterial mushroom antenna with inherent surface wave suppression at resonance (5.8 GHz) demonstrates over 5.41% higher measured impedance bandwidth of 8.8% and over 3.79 dBi higher gain of 5.46 dBi compared with a similar sized typical aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna, similarly fabricated. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
