In this paper, a novel tunable antenna using graphene- based artiflcial magnetic conductor (AMC) is proposed and investi- gated. The resonance frequency of the AMC ground plane can be electrically tuned by applying a gate voltage. A bowtie-shaped an- tenna is mounted above the 15 £ 15 AMC units. It is observed that the operating frequency of the antenna system shifts in a large range when varying the external electric fleld. The bandwidth of the antenna system can reach as high as 47% with a gain higher than 9dB.
