Abstract
Simulations and measurements have been carried out of a 1-layer metamaterial slab made of spiral resonators that shows an AMC behavior, with an equivalent electrical width of lambda/12 for the thickness (z dimension) of the slab. This behavior has been experimentally verified through radiation pattern measurements. The results show that similar results are obtained by placing a PEC at a lambda/4 distance and by placing the antenna close to the AMC. This latter solution is lower profile
