Design of Cylindrical Metamaterial Invisible Cloak with Non-Singular Electromagnetic Tensors

Abstract:

Based on line transformation, cylindrical metamaterial invisible cloak with non-singular electromagnetic tensors is designed. The results of simulation software based on finite element methods (FEM) show that the singularity in the electromagnetic tensors of the cloak has been eliminated, comparing with the cylindrical cloak with ideal tensors. From the simulation results, although there is electromagnetic perturbation in the free-space of the solution region, this cloak exhibits nice electromagnetic invisible performance. The bending wave front is clearly seen when the incoming wave transmits into the cloak region. Because of the non-singular electromagnetic tensors, the designed cloak may have more engineering application than the cloak with idea tensors.
