Abstract :
The design of a novel miniaturized artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) using interdigital capacitors is presented. The operation of the AMC is evaluated using finite element method (FEM) simulations. A prototype is manufactured and characterized based on reflection coefficient phase in an anechoic chamber. The performance of the AMC unit cell for both normal and oblique incidence is also studied.
