octagonal-shaped aperture (OSA) antenna is proposed for unidirectional radiation. The
proposed antenna consists of an OSA fed by microstrip along with L-shaped stub and an
AMC reflector. Bidirectional radiation of OSA antenna is changed to unidirectional radiation
using an AMC reflector. The antenna height measured from the upper surface of the AMC
reflector to OSA radiator is chosen to be small to realize a low-profile antenna: at the lowest …
