Figure 10. The gain for proposed antenna with multi-layer superstrate  where it is a material with a low refractive index. The field distribution of the antenna is also affected by the presence of an MTM superstrate. One of the most important features is to improve the gain of the microstrip antenna, in this case, is enhanced as shown in Figure 10. Figure 11 is shown voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) was calculated and validated to be less than 2, indicating that the antenna matching was satisfactory because VSWR is a measurement of the mismatch between the antenna and the feeding system. Larger the mismatch, the higher the VSWR. The smallest value of VSWR is unity, which results in a perfect match. The proportion of maximum to minimum voltages is referred to as VSWR.
