Abstract
Experimental results are shown for low profile bent-wire monopole antennas fabricated on artificial magnetic conductors (AMCs) that contain homogeneous magnetically-loaded elastomeric substrates. The elastomeric substrate is a lower cost and lighter weight alternative to the use of ferrite tiles. A 900 MHz antenna with a 20% return loss bandwidth and 40% antenna efficiency is described.
