This paper investigates the single band microstrip antenna loaded with meta-material. The main objective is to enhance the gain and directivity of the conventional microstrip patch antenna operating at X band. The Square SRR is acting as a metamaterial that is designed to exhibit negative properties at 10GHz. The parameters of unit cell metamaterial structure, simulated in CST Microwave Studio 2015, are extracted from layer between patch and ground. By inserting a 6×4 array of metamaterial below the patch, it achieves Gain and directivity of 7.9dBi with 100% efficiency. The antenna resonates at 11.8 GHz with -24 dB reflection coefficient and also has good radiation characteristic. Being a high gain antenna resonates at X band, it can be used for satellite applications.
