  • Abstract
    As an extension to previous work on flat metamaterial lenses for antenna gain enhancement, we present a dual-metamaterial design for a far-field collimating lens using an artificial magnetic conducting (AMC) ground plane to reduce the antenna profile by 20%. Simulations show good radiation performance over a 10% bandwidth.
