Bandwidth Enhancement of a Class of Cloaks Incorporating Metamaterials

Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, Vol. 28, 37-44, 2012
Abstract
A new method for increasing the bandwidth (BW) of a class of cloaks is presented. Simulation results reveal that the bandwidth of this class of cloaks is increased by embedding the two-dimensional transmission networks in a medium whose refractive index is smaller than unity. The low refractive index medium is realized by embedding several thin wires in a host medium. The overall bandwidth of the proposed cloak for reflectance less than -25 dB is revealed to be increased by more than 17% compared to its conventional counterpart.
