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. ...

Artificial magnetic conductors (AMCs), also known as high-impedance surfaces, have received considerable attention in recent years. Artificial Magnetic Conductor surface is a kind of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) or artificially designed structure having a magnetic conductor surface for some particular frequency band. These engineered surfaces consist of a periodic arrangement of unit cells ha...

Meanwhile, operation 3.5 GHz e...

When a plane wave illuminates an electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure, the reflection phase continuously changes from 180° to -180° as the frequency increases. Especially at a certain frequency where the reflection phase is 0o, the surface shows the same property as a perfect magnetic conductor (PMC). The PMC material does not exist in nature, b u t an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) ca...

In this paper, we present a novel approach for improving the bandwidth of a microstrip patch antenna using Jerusalem crossshaped frequency selective surfaces (JC-FSSs) as an artificial magnetic ground plane. The invasive weed optimization (IWO) algorithm is employed to derive optimal dimensions of the patch antenna and JC-FSS element in order for the whole structure to work at 5.8GHz with consi...

Unlike metal as conventional Perfect Electric Conductor (PEC) for unidirectional beam reflector, the periodic structures are now attracting more attention form academia and industrial as High Impedance Surface (HIS) or Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) reflector. Because quarter wavelength (λ/4) separation between antenna and PEC reflector is needed for unidirectional beam applications, it in...

The work on this guideline focus on the development and the design of a circularly polarized metallic EBG antenna fed by two microstrip lines. In order to achieve that purpose, a list of indicative specifications has been established, namely, obtaining an antenna operating from 29.5 to 30 GHz, with a high gain value, an ellipticity rate less than 3 dB and a secondary lobes less than -12 dB whic...

A design of novel bendable Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) structures has been presented in this paper in two selected of frequencies at 5G application. These designs started with a square patch shape and continued with the combination of circular and Jerusalem shape which resonate at a frequency of 18 GHz and 28 GHz. Details of the theory and the structures of AMCs are explained. The refle...

Metamaterial structures have unique properties in controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves. In this work, we analyze the effect of artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) surface strips on the bottom face of an oversized parallel plate waveguide to enhance the wave guidance within it. The results using these configurations in a linear slot array antenna fed by a rectangular parallel pla...
