Abstract
Metamaterials are opening a new way of refining the material science and related areas. Metamaterials broke the limitation of naturally occurring substances by artificially creating the desired material properties. This chapter presents a brief survey on metamaterials and their importance in the area of antenna design. Metamaterials in fractal antenna geometries, their applications in different areas are discussed. A brief discussion on metamaterial parameter extracting methods, different metamaterial geometries, challenges, and the way forward is given.
