The invention relates to an electromagnetic metamaterial patch antenna for radio frequency energy collection, which comprises a dielectric substrate, a radiation patch, a coaxial line, a grounding plate, a microstrip line electromagnetic metamaterial unit, an impedance matching adjusting section and a lumped port, the radiation patch and the impedance matching adjusting section are arranged on the front surface of the dielectric substrate, and a microstrip line electromagnetic metamaterial is arranged on the back surface of the dielectric substrate. The upper and lower surfaces have good feed and electromagnetic weak coupling with the broadband characteristics can be realized. The microstrip line electromagnetic metamaterial unit is equivalent to an LC resonance circuit, inductance resonance and capacitance resonance are in the same frequency, current distribution on the radiation patch is changed, field distribution of a natural mode of the radiation patch is changed, and multi-band radio frequency signal receiving is achieved. The antenna is simple in structure, is small in size, is good in frequency characteristic, and is very high in practical value.
