Abstract

This communication presents the design of a Huygens' metasurface (HMS) coating aiming to achieve strongly enhanced invisibility. An analytical formulation for obtaining the required electric surface admittance and magnetic surface impedance is presented. The proposed unit cell consists of a pair of split-rin resonators in the top layer and a metal capacitor in the bottom layer of the same substrate. The geometries are properly designed to provide the required electric surface admittance and magnetic surface impedance for maximum scattering reduction at the operational frequency of 4 GHz. The designed HMS is optimized to realize the required electric surface admittance and magnetic surface impedance for remarkable cloaking purposes. Scattering-cross section (SCS) of uncloaked and cloaked conducting cylinders is obtained with CST Microwave Studio simulation which matches the analytical results. The results show robust scattering reduction with considerable bandwidth for the covered cylinder by the HMS. Furthermore, the obtained results with HMS are compared with the results presented in the literature for cloaking with ordinary metasurface. This comparison emphasizes a much better cloaking performance of the HMS. Considerable cloaking obtained in this communication can be applied for invisibility purposes, sensing applications, antenna isolation, radiation blockage reduction in antennas, etc.
