Abstract
Negative index of refraction has attracted a great attention in literatures. These materials are artificial structures named metamaterials has characteristics not found in nature. Microstrip antennas covered by metamaterial are very interesting areas of study. In this paper fractal Peano shape antenna is proposed and covered by two layers of modified ring resonator. The results show an enhancement in Reflection Coefficients, gain, and directivity.
