All-dielectric carpet cloaks with three-dimensional anisotropy control by Maegawa Yuki, Nakata Yosuke, Sanada Atsushi

“…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. …”
