Higher order shift operater FDTD scheme for scattering of cloaking structure

In this paper, a higher-order shift operater (SO) FDTD scheme with second-order accuracy in time and fourth-order in space has been proposed to accurately model scattering of perfect electronic conductor coated with cloaking structures. Several different electromagnetic parameters of the cloaks are taken into account using SO-FDTD method. Numerical results indicate that the proposed method is more accuracy than the traditional method maintaining the same grid size. Scattering of different kinds of simplified cylindrical cloaks including thickness and loss are presented and could be served as further study on this subject.
