- Abstract
This paper presents the design and analysis of a novel biaxial double-negative (DNG) metamaterial for electromagnetic cloaking operation in the microwave range. The proposed metamaterial exhibits DNG characteristics for the three axes (x, y, and z axes) wave propagation through the material. For the z-axis wave propagation, it shows resonance in the X-band and shows DNG characteristics there. Similarly, for the x-axis wave propagation, the material displays resonances in the multi-band (S-, C-, and X-bands) microwave frequency ranges with DNG characteristics at the S-, C-, and X-bands. The material exhibits DNG properties at the S- and C-bands for y-axis wave propagation as well. In the basic design, a new metamaterial structure was developed that was split into two arms. The commercially available finite-difference time-domain (FDTD)-based computer simulation technology (CST) Microwave Studio software was adopted to obtain the reflection and transmission parameters of the unit cell. The metamaterial was then used in designing a rectangular electromagnetic cloaking device where a metal cylinder was perfectly cloaked in the C-band region of the microwave spectra. The metamaterial shows nearzero refractive-index property as well in the cloaked zone. This is a novel and promising design in the electromagnetic paradigm for its biaxial DNG characteristics and rectangular cloaking operation.
