  • Abstract
    The research presented in this paper adapts the reconfigurable FSS technology to EBG AMC surface design, which utilizes a periodic array of fixed metallic cross-dipole elements connected by ideal switches. This structure can be reconfigured to achieve the AMC condition for various resonant frequencies. The introduction of loss into the FSS screen also allows the design of reconfigurable EBG absorbers
