Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) is one of meta-materials representing phenomena that do not generally exist in the natural world, and is attracting attention as a core technology capable of overcoming physical limitations of existing technologies. Artificial magnetic conductors, unlike electrical conductors found in nature, refer to structures with surfaces that have the characteristics of magnetic conductors in a specific frequency region artificially.
The artificial magnetic conductor is composed of an electrical conductor, and has a protrusion-like structure on the surface of the conductor to generate a capacitance component and an inductance component. These components are a function of frequency and have a characteristic that the surface impedance becomes very high by these components in a specific frequency region. In the case of a general conductor, the surface impedance is 0 and the reflection coefficient is '-1', so that the image current is reversed. In the case of artificial magnetic conductors, the surface impedance is very large and the reflection coefficient is '+1'. It has a characteristic that the image current is in phase. In addition, due to the high surface impedance, it has the property of suppressing the propagation of surface waves.

Hereinafter, an artificial magnetic conductor having a multi-band characteristic according to an embodiment of the present invention and an antenna including the same will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9. It will be described in detail focusing on the parts necessary to understand the operation and action according to the present invention.
In the present invention, a metal member of a predetermined shape is inserted into each unit cell in the artificial magnetic conductor, and the structure of the unit cell in which the metal member is inserted is modified. By modifying the resonant structure for causing a resonance phenomenon by modifying the position of, etc., we propose a method that can adjust the frequency band more variously, for example, frequency up or frequency down, and widening or narrowing.
Here, the artificial magnetic conductor has resonance characteristics due to capacitance and inductance between unit cells of the lattice structure.
The artificial magnetic conductor may be applied to an antenna as well as a general substrate because there is a portion where the reflection phase does not change for a specific frequency. For example, the present invention can be applied to all antennas used in a mobile terminal and a base station for a wireless communication service.

Therefore, a resonance structure for causing a resonance phenomenon is formed by the metal members adjacent to each other.
5 is a graph showing the phase change of the reflection coefficient according to the surface impedance change of the artificial magnetic conductor according to the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the results of computer simulation of the phase change of the reflection coefficient according to the surface impedance change of the artificial magnetic conductor according to the present invention show multiband characteristics.
For example, multiband characteristics are shown in two frequency bands. In other words, the frequency band where the reflected phase becomes zero appears at 1.1921 to 1.317 GHz in the front and 2.4283 to 2.45 GHz in the back.
At a frequency where the reflection coefficient phase is zero, it has perfect magnetic conductor properties.
At this time, the present invention is to modify the structure of the unit cell in which the metal member is inserted to adjust the frequency band in various ways, for example, 1) when changing the size of the conductive layer, 2) changing the length or thickness of the metal member 3) A case of changing the position of the via will be described.
FIG. 6 is a first exemplary diagram illustrating a form of a unit cell structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, when the unit cell according to the present invention changes the size or length of the conductor layer as shown in FIG. (A), the phase change of the reflection coefficient according to the surface impedance change of the artificial magnetic conductor as shown in (b) Is showing. For example, it can be seen that as the size of the conductor layer, for example, the width or length increases, the frequency band where the reflection phase becomes zero is adjusted.
In addition, the shape of the conductor layer may be changed as well as the size thereof. For example, the conductor layer may be formed in any one of a triangular structure, a square structure, a hexagonal structure, a meander structure, an interdigital structure, or a spiral structure and a structure including a slit.
7 is a second exemplary view showing the form of a unit cell structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 7, when the unit cell according to the present invention changes the length or thickness of a metal member as shown in FIG. (A), the phase change of the reflection coefficient according to the surface impedance change of the artificial magnetic conductor as shown in (b) Is showing. For example, it can be seen that as the size of the conductor layer increases, the frequency band where the reflection phase becomes zero is adjusted.
At this time, referring to Figure 4, since the metal member of the upper metal member formed of a multi-layer structure and the lower metal member forms a resonance structure for causing a resonance phenomenon, the length of the upper metal member is not changed, the lower metal member Only the length of is changed.
However, both the thickness of the upper metal member and the thickness of the lower metal member can be changed.
8 is a third exemplary view showing the form of a unit cell structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 8, when the unit cell according to the present invention changes the length or thickness of the metal member as shown in FIG. (A), the phase change of the reflection coefficient according to the surface impedance change of the artificial magnetic conductor as shown in (b) As a result of computer simulation, it can be seen that it shows multi-band characteristics.
Comparing the phase change of the reflection coefficient according to the surface impedance change of the unit cell with FIG. 5, it can be seen that the multiband characteristic is shown at a lower frequency. This means that the same unit cell can be operated at a lower frequency, which means that it can be implemented at a smaller size at the same frequency, thereby miniaturizing the artificial magnetic conductor.
9 is a fourth exemplary view showing the form of a unit cell structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 9, the unit cell according to the present invention, when changing the position of the via, that is, the distance from the via connecting the metal member, as shown in Figure (a), the surface impedance of the artificial magnetic conductor as shown in Figure (b) The phase change of the reflection coefficient with the change is shown. For example, it can be seen that as the size of the conductor layer increases, the frequency band where the reflection phase becomes zero is adjusted.
In this case, the vias connecting the ground layer and the conductor layer may have the same distance or different distances from the plurality of vias connecting the metal members.
At this time, in the embodiment of the present invention, 1) when changing the size of the conductive layer, 2) when changing the length or thickness of the metal member, 3) the case of changing the position of the via, respectively, but is limited to this The shape of the unit cell may be changed by combining at least two of the size of the conductor layer, the length or thickness of the metal member, and the position of the via.
Of course, the present invention is not limited to changing the shape of the conductor, the metal member, and the via, and all the elements forming the resonance structure for causing the resonance phenomenon can be applied.
As such, the present invention forms a resonant structure of a predetermined shape by inserting at least one metal member into each unit cell, and modifies the shape of the resonant structure, thereby controlling the frequency band in various ways, and comparing the existing artificial magnetic conductors.
