Abstract

The design, simulations, and optimized results for a novel low specific absorption rate (SAR) monopole antenna on a single artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) cell are described in this paper. Simulated results show a reduction close to 70% in the 1 g ps SAR for the developed monopole antenna with the AMC in comparison to the monopole antenna without AMC. This allows higher radiation efficiency, battery drain reduction as well as mobile terminal user health risks reduction.
