I’m looking for recommendations on high-quality research papers that not only demonstrate interesting antenna designs but also provide solid fundamental analysis—such as equivalent circuit models, dispersion diagrams, or unit cell behavior.

Ideally, the paper should cover both simulation and experimental validation, and explain the underlying metamaterial theory in the context of antenna performance (gain enhancement, miniaturization, beam steering, etc.).

If you’ve come across any insightful papers or have authored one yourself, I’d really appreciate the suggestion!
