Abstract:	A multiband rectangular microstrip patch antenna integrated with angled split- ring artificial magnetic conducting (AMC) structure is proposed. In order to achieve high gain, directivity and radiation efficiency, an 3×2 array of proposed angled split-ring patches which has multiple in-phase reflection phase characteristics at S-band (2-4 GHz) is presented as a reflector. A rectangular microstrip patch antenna integrated with the proposed angled split-ring AMC is fabricated, tested and its parameters are compared with the microstrip patch antenna backed with a flat metal sheet, and microstrip patch antenna integrated with conventional split-ring AMC structure. The presence of high scattered field amplitude between the angled arms lead to improved radiation characteristics and make the antenna more suitable for real-time wireless applications. The antenna attains 2.138 dBi increment in gain and 1.87 dBi increment in directivity when it is backed with the proposed angled split-ring artificial magnetic conducting structure instead of a flat metal sheet. A good pact is obtained between the simulated and the measured results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
