Abstract :
High impedance metasurfaces (HIMSs) formed by interwoven conductor arrays are proposed. Bandwidth comparable with that of the basic square patches is achieved at an order of magnitude smaller unit cells. The presented structures are apt for small mobile terminals and low frequency applications.
