Abstract :
A flexible uniplanar Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) design is presented. FEM simulations used to design and analyze the performance of the AMC structure are shown. Its performance under flat and bent conditions is characterized by means of reflection coefficient phase measurements of a manufactured prototype in an anechoic chamber. Broad AMC operation bandwidth and polarization angle independency is found for the prototype in both flat and bent situations. In addition, its angular margin under oblique incidence operation is also measured.
