A dual band stub-loaded artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) structure to enhance the gain of a dual band monopole is presented. Designed for operation in the 2.4 and 5 GHz WLAN bands, the AMC unit cell is intended to be capable of independently tuning the upper (5 GHz) band by varying the stub lengt...
