In this work; the novel design of dumbbell shaped frequency selective surface (FSS) is demonstrated as superstrate. The array of this designed FSS structure is incorporated on two different antennas; (1) Microstrip Patch Antenna (MPA), and (2) Inverted Stacked Microstrip Patch Antenna (ISMPA). The FSS unit cell reflection magnitude is nearly 0.95 in the vicinity of both antennas resonance frequencies. Based on the ray tracing phenomenon multiple reflections occur between superstate and ground plane. So by this phenomenon the gain of circular patch and the ISMPA is enhanced by 6.02 dBic and 5.1 dBic respectively. In the measured results, the impedance bandwidth of MPA and ISMPA are 6.66% (5.8-6.2 GHz) at 6 GHz center frequency and 5.3%

A new low profile, multiband, multipolarised single feed antenna is designed. A corner truncated patch loaded with slots and a complementary split ring resonator is used to achieve three frequency bands with different polarisations. The antenna exhibits right‐hand circular, linear, and left‐hand circular polarisation at three different bands, respectively. To obtain circular polarisation, orthogonal modes are excited by truncating corners of the patch and etching slits. Single feed, single layer geometry with Y‐shaped feed structure is employed. The antenna is fabricated on a low‐cost FR4 substrate with an overall size of 70thinmathspacemm×70thinmathspacemm, and the proposed design has been verified experimentally. The selected frequency bands are centred at 2.313, 2.396, and 2.478 GHz, and they have −10 dB impedance bandwidths of 2.14, 2.50, and 2.42%, respectively. The first frequency band exhibits right‐hand circular polarisation with a 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 0.85%. The second frequency band exhibits linear polarisation, whereas the third frequency band exhibits left‐hand circular polarisation with a 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 0.81%.
