Abstract
We present the design of an innovative wire antenna able to automatically hide or reveal its presence depending on the waveform of the received/transmitted signal. This unconventional behavior is achieved through the use of a novel waveform-selective cloaking metasurface exploiting a meander-like unit cell loaded with a lumped-element circuit capable to engineer the scattering of the antenna depending on the waveform of the impinging signal. Due to the time-domain response of the lumped-element circuit, the antenna is able switching its scattering behavior when interacts with either a pulsed wave (PW) or a continuous wave (CW) signal. The proposed configuration paves the way to a new generation of cloaking devices for intelligent antenna systems, extending the concept of antenna as a device capable to sense the external environment and change its electromagnetic behavior accordingly.
