Experimental characterization of a broadband transmission-line cloak in free space
arXiv:1110.2353 · doi:10.1109/TAP.2012.2207339
Abstract
The cloaking efficiency of a finite-size cylindrical transmission-line cloak operating in the X-band is verified with bistatic free space measurements. The cloak is designed and optimized with numerical full-wave simulations. The reduction of the total scattering width of a metal object, enabled by the cloak, is clearly observed from the bistatic free space measurements. The numerical and experimental results are compared resulting in good agreement with each other.
