By introducing two orthogonal gaps to a uniplanar compact photonic bandgap structure, artificial magnetic conductor's resonance frequencies have been significantly reduced. Since this compact pattern needs slots with 0.05‐mm width, the laser micromachining was explored to fabricate the prototypes. Reflection coefficients were measured through a WR‐137 waveguide. Considering the dominant waves propagating in a waveguide, a simulation method is introduced. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
