The split ring resonators (SRR) is designed to work at X band and its equivalent medium parameters are estimated by using the equivalent analysis method. The high gain microstrip antenna, which is based on Photonic BandGap (PBG) structure, is also studied. To make the scattering wave deviates mirror direction and reduce the out-band Radar Cross Section (RCS) without affecting the performance of antenna, the designed SRR is used as the cover of PBG structure microstrip antenna. The results show that the forward gain of PBG structure antenna is 0.8 dB higher than the tradition antenna. After the SRR covers on the PBG structure antenna, the gain of antenna is unchanged and the RCS of the mirror direction decreases for all incident angles, and the most decrement is 21.05 dB.

<span lang="EN-US">This paper reports a novel method for designing a miniaturized microstrip antenna with DGS based on CSRR array which operates in the frequency of 2.6GHz for low band WiMAX application. The proposed antenna is designed using ANSYS HFSS simulation software. The antenna with optimized parameters is fabricated using FR-4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm. The simulated and measured performances of the antenna in terms of return loss, directivity and radiation patterns are presented in this work. When Complimentary Split Ring Resonators (CSRRs) array are placed on the ground plane, the resonant frequency is shifted  to a lower value and patch size is reduced .The measurements were taken and compared with the simulated results. The performance characteristics obtained from the measurements show that the proposed antenna is suited for WiMAX application at 2.6GHz.</span>
