Abstract :
In this work, we exploit the mantle cloak technique to minimize the scattering of a receiving electric dipole antenna at its resonance frequency. Theoretical limitations of the proposed setup are analyzed. Furthermore, we show how our approach can be successfully used to dramatically reduce the blockage effects between two electrically close dipole antennas. All the results are validated by the means of full-wave numerical simulations.
