Abstract
Development of artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) ground planes has resulted in low profile planar antennas. Essentially, AMC structures consist of a periodic array of arbitrarily shaped patches backed by a grounded dielectric slab. Among planar antennas, the spiral antenna is an excellent candidate for circular polarization applications. In [1–5], considerable efforts have been focused on decreasing the overall height of the curl and spiral antennas. Among which, a very compact and low profile spiral antenna was designed with a distance of only 0.02λο in [5], where λο is the free-space wavelength at 4.5GHz.
