Abstract

We have developed a dual-frequency electromagnetic cloak based on LC circuits. The limitations imposed by the extremely small values of the permittivity / permeability required for cloaking applications are relaxed by the proposed LC-circuit with multiple resonances. Full-wave simulations are then carried out to verify the design concept, where a cylindrical cloak working at 3 and 5 GHz is designed and simulated. The simulation results show the desired dual-frequency operations of the cloak. Based on the same concept, it is possible to design cloaking structures having multiple-frequency operation.
