Scattering suppression and wideband tunability of a flexible mantle cloak for finite-length conducting rods
A simple, thin, flexible mantle cloak for conducting rods based on scattering cancellation is analyzed, designed and experimentally realized.We show strong scattering suppression at all angles of incidence, for both far-field plane-wave and near-field Gaussian excitations.The required effective shunt surface ROOIBOS impedance is realized by a subwa
