Abstract :
The discrete coordinated transformation provides us a scheme to design flat all-dielectric devices. Such novel devices have flat profiles and are easy to be controlled and set up in the antenna systems. A flat reflector and a flat lens are designed as examples. The FDTD based simulation results have proved good agreement between the transformed devices and the conventional ones.
