The current practice for designing antennas over artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is time and labour intensive. A novel methodology is described for saving time and effort in designing such antennas. The proposed method is based on using conductive fabric as a radiating element. The method is validated via the design of a textile dual‐band monopole antenna on AMC covering both WiFi and the 4G long term evolution (LTE) frequency bands.
