The proposed structure is based on novel optimized multi-layer periodic surfaces that create multiple sub-wavelength cavities with enhanced bandwidth performance. Two double-layer periodic arrays of dissimilar dimensions are designed and optimized, each double-layer array consisting of an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) and a Partially Reflective Surface (PRS) printed on either side of a dielectric substrate. The two double-layer metasurfaces are placed at about quarter wavelength from a ground plane and from each other. An antenna of 18.3dBi directivity and 8% 3-dB radiation bandwidth is obtained.","PeriodicalId":151955,"journal":{"name":"2014 8th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129908076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
