Sumario:[EN] This work presents a novel and comprehensive design methodology for the practical implementation of perfect magnetic conductors (PMCs) in rectangular waveguide (RW) technology, by taking advantage of high-impedance surface (HIS) periodic structures. The proposed design technique has been successfully validated on several standard-dimension RWs, confirming its applicability to the most common topologies. This work combines theoretical modeling and experimental validation, including the fabrication of two PMC prototypes adapted to standard RW geometries. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method for PMC design, its direct scalability for industrialization, and its potential for a wide range of microwave applications.
