  • Abstract
    In this paper, the characteristics of three different types of artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) are investigated and compared: a mushroom-like surface, which is the classical example of AMC with connecting vias, and two surfaces with no vias, one of which is anisotropic. Both the simulation results and the measurements verify that the AMC behaviour is successfully accomplished around the resonant frequency. In order to complete the study, the characteristics of two different horizontal wire antennas placed above the surfaces are analyzed.
