Bandwidth widening, gain improvement and efficiency boost of an antenna using Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) ground plane
In this paper, a standalone patch antenna operating at 2.3 GHz is initially designed as a reference antenna. Subsequently, the patch antenna is incorporated with an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) as the ground plane to obtain an Antenna with Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AAMC). Performance com...
