Abstract

This paper presents new design of artificial magnetic conductor structure along with feed line. 4 × 1 microstrip patch antenna array using AMC improves performance of antenna. AMC structures are used in design low profile antennas. High gain, minimum size and larger band width required for communication system. This leads to design patch antenna array. So this paper presents four element microstrip patch antenna array with artificial magnetic conductor structure. It uses FR4_epoxy as dielectric substrate. 4 × 1 microstrip patch antenna array is designed using HFSS simulation software. Simulation and measured results are compared.
