A miniaturized low-profile broadband metasurface antenna by using stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) is presented. H-shaped SIR elements are employed in the proposed aperture coupled metasurface antenna. The exemplified SIR metasurface antenna with a footprint of 11.8mm × 11.0mm × 1.524mm (0.40λ 0...
