Abstract
By means of a three-step linear optical transformation method, material parameters of a three-dimensional diamond-shaped electromagnetic concentrator composed of tetrahedral homogeneous blocks has been derived in this paper. The performance of the concentrator has been confirmed by full-wave simulation. The designed concentrator can operate in a wide bandwidth due to the line transformation. It represents an important progress towards the practical realization of the metamaterial-assisted concentrator.
