Abstract:

The design of a novel miniaturized polarization independent artificial magnetic conductor is presented in this paper. A 2*2 patch array loading is used here for miniaturization of square patch AMC unit cell. This proposed structure can provide lower resonance frequency compared to an unloaded AMC with same periodicity and thickness and polarization independent reflection characteristics for normal incidence. A prototype is fabricated and tested to validate the characteristic. The performance of structure for different polarization and angle of incidence is also studied.
