A platform-tolerant RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tag is presented, designed to operate across the entire RFID band. This tag utilizes a small Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) structure as a shielding element for an ungrounded RFID tag antenna. It can be easily mounted on various surfaces, including low permittivity dielectric materials, metal objects, or even attached to the human body for wearable applications. The key features of this RFID tag include its ability to be tuned within the worldwide RFID band, achieving a maximum theoretical read range of over 11 m. Despite its advanced capabilities, the design emphasizes simplicity and cost-effective manufacturing. The design and simulations were conducted using CST Studio Suite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A dual-band high gain monopole antenna interfaced with an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) reflector is introduced in this paper. The antenna is composed of an open-loop shape radiator fed with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) to achieve the desired frequency bands with a total size of 28 mm × 36 mm × 1.6 mm (0.224λ0 × 0.288 λ0 × 0.012 λ0 at 2.4 GHz). A dual-band AMC array structure is integrated on the back of the antenna to enhance the achieved gain. The total size of the integrated model is 79.9 mm × 79.9 mm × 8 mm (0.63λ0 × 0.63 λ0 × 0.064 λ0 at 2.4 GHz). The suggested models are fabricated and tested in terms of the S11, radiation pattern, and peak gain to validate the simulation results. The tested results of the antenna with the AMC array illustrate that the antenna operates at two bands where S11 ≤ −10 dB from 2.37 GHz to 2.5 GHz and from 4.45 GHz to 4.9 GHz. Furthermore, peak gain values of 5 dBi and 7.5 dBi are achieved at both bands, respectively. The suggested model can be used in sub-6 GHz 5G indoor and outdoor applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A high gain and wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) for 5G new radio (NR) networks is introduced in this paper. The single unit is a monopole antenna with partial ground plane and two small triangles are cut out from the patch to produce the proposed frequency band. The two elements are located orthogonal to each other in order to reduce the mutual coupling without using isolation structure at the desired frequency 28 GHz. An artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is located underneath the MIMO antenna to improve the gain by about 55% over the entire achieved frequency band (26-31.5 GHz). The Suggested antenna model with the AMC structure is fabricated to verify the simulation results in terms of S-parameters, radiation patterns, gain, and diversity parameters. It is worth noting that the experimental results have the same trend of the simulation ones which makes the suggested AMC-based MIMO antenna applicable for 5G NR networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
