Novel Flexible Artificial Magnetic Conductor

الملخص EN

A novel flexible uniplanar AMC design is presented.

An AMC prototype is manufactured using laser micromachining and it is characterized under flat and bent conditions by measuring its reflection coefficient phase in an anechoic chamber.

The designed prototype shows broad AMC operation bandwidth (6.96% and higher) and polarization angle independency.

Its angular stability margin, when operating under oblique incidence, is also tested obtaining ±8° as limit for a 14.4 cm × 14.4 cm prototype.
