Abstract

A new wideband circular high-impedance surface (HIS) is proposed. Two models are developed to analyze the reflection characteristics of the proposed HIS. It is also shown through simulations that a circular HIS as a ground plane for loop antennas is superior to a rectangular HIS ground plane. The circular HIS was fabricated and a loop antenna was placed above it. Measurements were then performed and their results were compared with simulations. An excellent agreement was indicated.
