Novel Compact Inter-Embedded AMC Structure for Suppressing Surface Wave

摘要

In this paper, a novel very compact inter-embedded artificial magnetic conductor (IE-AMC) structure is presented. Compared with conventional Sievenpiper AMC structure,for a desired band-gap frequency, the cell size of this novel IE-AMC structure is reduced about 70% with the same substrate used. Therefore,in practical application to microwave integrated circuits and antenna arrays for suppressing surface,for a given available space,more AMC structure cells can be used, and the performance of circuits and antennas can be improved more. On the other hand,low frequency surface wave band-gap which is applied to wireless communication band (GSM,PCS and ISM) can be obtained using IE-AMC structure.
