Abstract :
A new low profile antenna comprised of a PIFA and an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) are presented. The PIFA antenna is placed at the edge of the AMC structure for bandwidth improvement. Use of a square-ring elementary element AMC without via is shown to maintain the PIFAs radiation efficiency with a low profile. The chosen AMC exhibits the required zero phase reflection coefficient for normally incident waves. Results suggest that additional directivity can be achieved for the combined PIFA/AMC system.
