Metasurface cloak performance near-by multiple line sources and PEC cylindrical objects

Abstract

The performance/robustness of metasurface cloaks to a complex field environment which may represent a realistic scenario of radiating sources is presently reported. Attention is devoted to the cloak operation near-by multiple line sources and multiple perfectly electrically conducting cylinders. It is shown that the metasurface cloaks, initially designed to cloak an isolated dielectric cylinder excited by a single line source, retain their ability to cloak in these new, more realistic, excitation cases.
