Abstract: In this modern era of wireless communication, the broad application of engineered materials attracted scientists around the globe. This new paradigm of metamaterials can be creatively utilized to resolve various challenges faced by the conventional design techniques. Being one of the most sensitive components of a wireless communication system, the interest in metamaterial based antenna designs are growing very rapidly. The objective of this work is to review state of the art techniques in this magnificent area of research. The chronological discussion on various metamaterial based radiation pattern synthesis are outlined in this paper.
