| description | In this article, we propose all-dielectric carpet cloaks composed of jungle gym shaped dielectric unit cells and present a design strategy for three-dimensional (3-D) anisotropy control based on the transformation optics. The carpet cloaks are 3-D printable and operate with polarization independent incident waves in arbitrary incident angles due to the 3-D anisotropy control. Realizable anisotropic permittivities of cubic and rectangular unit cells are numerically studied based on the relative permittivity and loss tangent of ɛ
r = 2.9 and tan δ = 0.02 of ultra-violet curing resin measured at the microwave frequency. It is shown that the unit cell has little frequency dependence even with the anisotropy in the low frequency range where the effective medium approximation is valid. A carpet cloak is designed based on the design method with a quasi-conformal coordinate transformation and implemented with the unit cells taking into account its realizable anisotropy. Polarization independent 3-D cloaking operations of the designed cloak are confirmed numerically. The designed cloak is fabricated by stereolithography 3-D printing technology and its cloaking performances are evaluated experimentally at 10 GHz. It is shown that non-specular reflections are well suppressed by the carpet cloak for both TE and TM incident waves with different incident angles of 30, 45, and 60°. Frequency independent cloaking operations are also shown experimentally in the X-band. The measured near-field distributions and bistatic radar cross sections are in good agreement with simulated predictions and the validity of the design method is confirmed. |
