Metasurfaces for Mantle Cloaking Applications and Scattering Reduction
Miss Barbara Cappello, PhD student, DET.

My research activity is focused on the study of electromagnetic metamaterials and especially on their application to electromagnetic invisibility. Metamaterials are artificial periodic structures able to control and bend the propagation path of the electromagnetic waves in unprecedented ways. Among the different applications of metamaterials, cloaking is one of the most fascinating. In particular, mantle cloaking, differently from other techniques, has the advantage of suppressing the scattered field from the target object by using a 2D thin patterned metasurface, therefore reducing the cloak weight and thickness. In this seminar I will present an overview of electromagnetic metamaterials and cloaking problems, showing the design and analysis of a particular metasurface based on a width modulated microstrip line.
