Analyzing the Performance of Lined and Unlined Simplified Cylindrical Cloaks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of simplified cylindrical cloaks with various material parameters was investigated. The performance metric was the overall scattering width of the cloak with various objects in the hidden region. COMSOL was used to simulate three cloaks with different material parameters to determine the total field in the simulation domain. The fields were then transformed to the far zone and scattering widths were determined. For all cloaks simulated in this effort, a PEC-lined cloak had equal or better performance compared to an unlined cloak no matter what type of object was placed in the hidden region. We also found that as the simplified cloaks' material parameters become more like ideal parameters, the performances of PEC-lined and unlined cloaks converges.

Limitations of high-order transformation and incident angle on simplified invisibility cloaks.
We studied the scattering from the simplified cylindrical cloaks analytically at both normal and oblique incidences. We found that these simplified cylindrical cloaks may produce a larger scattering at nonnormal incidences than that from an object without any cloak, making this object more "visible". Even at normal incidence, the high-order transformation with impedance matched at the outer bou...
متن کاملCylindrical invisibility cloak with simplified material parameters is inherently visible.
It was proposed that perfect invisibility cloaks can be constructed for hiding objects from electromagnetic illumination [J. B. Pendry, D. Schurig, and D. R. Smith, Science 312, 1780 (2006)10.1126/science.1125907]. The cylindrical cloaks experimentally demonstrated [D. Schurig, Science 314, 977 (2006)10.1126/science.1133628] and theoretically proposed [W. Cai, Nat. Photon. 1, 224 (2007)10.1038/...
متن کاملChemical analysis of soil and leachate from experimental wetland mesocosms lined with coal combustion products.
Small-scale (1 m2) wetland mesocosm experiments were conducted over two consecutive growing seasons to investigate the effects on soil and leachate chemistry of using a recycled coal combustion product as a liner. The coal combustion product used as a liner consisted of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) by-products and fly ash. This paper provides the chemical characteristics of mesocosm soil and ...
متن کاملRoad-edge delineation in rural areas: effects on driving behaviour.
When driving on lower-category Dutch rural roads without any delineation, drivers are likely to drift off the road with their right-side wheels, thus incurring damage to the pavement edge or even leading to accidents. In two experiments, two types of road-edge delineation, with continuous or dashed edge lines, were compared with two control roads without lines or with only a dashed line on the ...
متن کاملNon-magnetic simplified cylindrical cloak with suppressed zero order scattering
A type of simplified cloaks with matched exterior boundaries is proposed. The cloak uses nonmagnetic material for the TM polarization and can function with a relatively thin thickness. It is shown that the zero order scattering of such cloak is dominant among all cylindrical scattering terms. A gap is added at the cloak’s inner surface to eliminate the zero order scattering, through the mechani...
