Namely, the proposed antenna can be viewed as another kind of shorted top-hat
cone antenna, and the difference is that the shorted pins are not loaded from top plate but from the lower plate.

Adopting the lower profile of the monopole similar to that of a tapered transmission line, a planar inverted
cone antenna (PICA) for broadband wireless applications has been proposed in [23].

The antennas which were bow-tie and
cone antennas were chosen from the example list of the EM simulation software.
It then gives the fundamentals of waveguide and antenna applications involving double-negative (DNG) and single-negative (SNG) metamaterials, waveguide experiments to characterize the properties of SNG and DNG metamaterials, refraction experiments in waveguide environments, antenna applications and waveguide focusing using negative-refractive-index (NRI) transmission line structure, resonance
