In the proposed structure AMC cells are filled with the so-called \"mushroom\" structure. AMC and metallic cells are combinated to create a 180deg of phase difference between the reflected waves in each cell, creating a destructive interference. Under normal incidence the reflected power in the scattered specular direction is minimized and the power is redirected in the phi = 45deg and 135deg planes at theta = 45deg direction. As a first step a theoretical model is presented based on array theory and finally the simulated results using the commercial software Ansoft HFSS are shown.","PeriodicalId":446281,"journal":{"name":"2007 International workshop on Antenna Technology: Small and Smart Antennas Metamaterials and Applications","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126729942","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}

Then, a finite electric conductor and a high dielectric constant interface are applied to reduce the DRA size in a realistic situation.

This is referred to as a \"cross fan-shaped antenna\" (CROFASH antenna). The CROFASH is designed with a stop-band (band of high VSWR) in the VSWR frequency response. This effectively blocks interference from extraneous signals with frequencies within the stop-band, such as those from a nearby communications system. The stop-band in this paper is realized using a wire and slits. The effects of the wire and slits on the VSWR and the radiation pattern are analyzed and discussed. The analysis is performed using the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTDM).","PeriodicalId":446281,"journal":{"name":"2007 International workshop on Antenna Technology: Small and Smart Antennas Metamaterials and Applications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125415372","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}

In this paper, we propose to use the method of moments to solve the linear equation of the convolution in the time-domain.
