A Near Zero Refractive Index Metamaterial for Electromagnetic Invisibility Cloaking Operation
The paper reveals the design of a unit cell of a metamaterial that shows more than 2 GHz wideband near zero refractive index (NZRI) property in the C-band region of microwave spectra. The two arms of the unit cell were splitted in such a way that forms a near-pi-shape structure on epoxy resin fiber (FR-4) substrate material. The reflection and transmission characteristics of the unit cell were ...
متن کاملMicrostrip Antenna Gain Enhancement using Near Zero Refractive Index Metamaterials
Some useful features of microstrip patch antennas are low profile, low weight and easy fabrication. However this type of antenna suffers from having a low gain, caused by propagation surface waves. In this paper, a new near zero refractive index metamaterial (MTM) unit cell is designed and fabricated as a superstrate over a Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antennas (RMPA). In order to obtain a maxi...
متن کاملAcoustic Cloaking
Introduction An acoustic cloak is a shell surrounding an object so that sound incident from any direction passes through and around the cloak, making the cloak and the object acoustically “invisible.” We do not experience acoustic cloaking because the materials required are exotic and, as far as we know, not found in nature. Yet there is no fundamental physical restriction on acoustic cloaking....
متن کاملSuper-reflection and Cloaking Based on Zero Index Metamaterial
A zero index metamaterial (ZIM) can be utilized to block wave (super-reflection) or conceal objects completely (cloaking). The “super-reflection” device is realized by a ZIM with a perfect electric (magnetic) conductor inclusion of arbitrary shape and size for a transverse electric (magnetic) incident wave. In contrast, a ZIM with a perfect magnetic (electric) conductor inclusion for a transver...
متن کاملTransformation of sound by a phononic crystal
Several noise barriers made of phononic crystals (i.e. manmade composite materials with a periodic structure) have been designed over the last decade. The periodic structure of phononic crystal avoids sound propagation in a defined frequency range called Bragg band gap (i.e. waves are evanescent). This study aims at quantifying the perceptual impact of a noise barrier based on a phononic crysta...
