designing an ARTIFICIAL MAGNETIC CONDUCTOR

respected sir,

m a beginner in designing artificial magnetic conductor(metamaterials).i have some knowledge bout using IE3D also.

i wanna ask if it is possible to design fractals on amc using superNEC ?
b'coz latest versions of superNEC doesnt allow for dielectric other than air.

thanx in advance

Look up "High Impedance Surface" in the literature...same thing but a more common name. There is a ton of stuff to get you going...think Sievenpiper ;) Any Integral Equation software is going to be limiting as they do not handle dielectrics well...I suggest HFSS as there is a full writeup on this topic from determining Block diagrams to dispersion curves.

later :)

There is a provision in HFSS for magnetic materials/multiple dielectrics and you can simulate currents as well as fields. You can also specify custom aspects in a material. HFSS is a better option as it provides much better features in your case.

hiiii...
i agree HFSS will provide me solutions but there is some reason for which i have to pursue this thing in IE3D itself...
please guide me how to start up with AMC designing...i have to design a 4*4 mushroom type amc

thanx

can anyone please guide me : how to design an AMC..in IE3D software

sir here is the attachment of the paper which m following for high impedance surfaces..

sir i have sent u a private message regarding the problem...

thanx...
