Abstract: This paper proposes a new way of designing a dual-band circularly polarized (CP) antenna by using a single-band CP radiator on a finite artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) surface. The AMC surface consists of a lattice of square metal plates on grounded dielectric substrate while the single-band radiator is a compact crossed dipole, which employs a 90° phase-delay line consisting of a vacant-quarter printed ring to generate broadband CP radiation. The dual-band operation is obtained by utilizing the original band generated by the radiator and the first additional band caused by surface waves propagating on the finite AMC surface. For verifying the design method, the proposed antenna is optimized for the L1 and L2 bands of the global positioning system with low-profile broadband characteristics and excellent CP radiation. The final design with an overall size of 85 × 85 × 11.493 mm3 (~0.3485λo × 0.3485λo × 0.0471λo at the 1.23 GHz) yields a measured impedance bandwidth of 1.202–1.706 GHz for the |S11|
