A CAMOUFLAGE DEVICE WITHOUT METAMATERIALS

Abstract

We propose a camouflage device that can greatly reduce scattering in the microwave frequency using only uniform copper plates with no internal structuring (no metamaterials). The camouflage device is designed by optical surface transformation (OST), which is derived from transformation optics but much simpler than transformation optics. The key of our design is to choose suitable arrangement and lengths of these copper plates that satisfy Fabry-Perot condition. The proposed camouflage device can work when the detecting wave comes from a wide-angle range (not only works for some discrete angles). The proposed method will give a new and simple way to design and realize camouflage device.
