• abstract = "The development and use of genetic programming (GP) software to synthesise true-3D artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) ground planes is presented, with the focus on achieving a lower frequency response (particularly in the high VHF to low UHF bands), low-profile, broadband designs without the use of absorbing or magnetic materials. Metallic 3D patterns are embedded in one or more substrate layers with a PEC bottom, and the patterning in the unit cell is allowed to extend into neighbouring unit cells, thus achieving a lower frequency response with much smaller unit cell size and thickness. Four designs synthesized using the developed GP software are presented with achieved bandwidths ranging from 32.7percent to 71.1percent when using the plus-minus 90 degrees reflection phase criterion. Further, it is shown that through the use of a parametric study, the centre frequency (0 angle reflection phase) of one of the designs can be reduced from 381.3 MHz to 87.8 MHz, which is a 77percent reduction. The edge of the square unit cell size for this miniaturised design is lambda_{0}/51 and the thickness is lambda_{0}/61 at 83.9 MHz.",
