Abstract :
The design of a novel SHF-band uniplanar artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is presented. A prototype is manufactured and characterized based on reflection coefficient phase. The designed prototype shows broad AMC operation bandwidth and polarization angle independency. Its angular margin when operating under oblique incidence is also tested. The results are supported by finite element method (FEM) simulations and measurements in an anechoic chamber.
