Proceedings of the Fourth European Conference on Antennas and Propagation. ISBN 978-84-7653-472-4.

Taking advantage of the fact that they can behave as Perfect Magnetic Conductor (PMC), it is shown that these structures exhibit dual band in-phase reflection at WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) bands, the 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz bands. These structures are applied to PIFA (Planar Inverted-F Antenna) and the results show that it is possible to obtain low profile PIFA's.engLow Profile Multi-Band AntennaMobile Communicationsconference object
