Abstract :
In this work, we explore a different opportunity to design high-impedance surfaces. We suggest that an array of densely packed metallic wires properly distributed in a periodic lattice and embedded in a low-epsilon dielectric, may be used to synthesize a very compact high-impedance surface.
