A novel AMC with little sensitivity to the angle of incidence using 2-layer Jerusalem Cross FSS

A novel artificial magnetic conductor (AMC), i.e., high-impedance surface (HIS), is proposed. The structure, which utilizes the well know Jerusalem Cross Frequency Selective Surface (JC-FSS), is a novel 3D AMC. It offers stable resonance frequency with respect to the incidence angle of both TE and TM-polarized plane waves, very compact size and acceptable bandwidth.
