Artificial magnetic conductor for miniaturized antenna applications-A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper encapsulates the properties and implementation areas of Artificial Magnetic Conductor(AMC). It is characterized by having high surface impedance. The geometry of this structure is such that it does not support the propagation of surface waves and acts as a good ground plane in comparison to conventional metal conductors. Also, it reflects the waves in-phase rather than out of phase. Thus it is applicable to a variety of electromagnetic problems stressing upon the usage of low profile antennas. Keywords— AMC (Artificial magnetic conductor), HIS (High impedance surface), Antennas, Surface waves, ground plane, bandwidth (BW)
