Patent Images
1. An active artificial magnetic conductor (AAMC) comprising:
- an array of unit cells, each unit cell comprising;
a top face;
at least one wall coupled to the top face;
a base coupled to the at least one wall; and
a crossed slot in the top face, wherein the crossed slot extends to the at least one wall dividing the top face into four patches;
wherein the at least one wall is a continuous wall between the top face and the base;
wherein the top face, the at least one wall, and the base form a cavity inside the top face, the at least one wall, and the base; and
wherein the four patches, the at least one wall, and the base are conductive.

21. An active artificial magnetic conductor (AAMC) comprising:
-
an array of unit cells, each unit cell comprising; a square top face having first, second, third and fourth edges; a first wall coupled to the first edge of the top face; a second wall coupled to the second edge of the top face; a third wall coupled to the third edge of the top face; a fourth wall coupled to the fourth edge of the top face; a base coupled to the first, second, third and fourth walls; and a crossed slot in the top face, the crossed slot extending to each of the four edges of the top face dividing the top face into four patches; wherein the first wall, the second wall, the third wall and the fourth wall are each a continuous wall between the top face and the base; wherein the top face, the first, second, third and fourth walls, and the base form a cavity inside the top face, the first, second, third and fourth walls; and wherein the four patches, the first, second, third and fourth walls, and the base are conductive. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
