Cylindrical optimized nonmagnetic concentrator with minimized scattering

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

By using optimized transformation function, we research on a minimized scattering nonmagnetic concentrator, which can realize impedance matching at the inner and the outer boundaries. It has been demonstrated that the optimized transformation function method can improve the concentrating performance remarkably. The cylindrical anisotropic shell can be mimicked by radial symmetrical sectors which alternate in composition between two profiles of isotropic dielectrics, and the permittivity in each sector can be properly determined by the effective medium theory. The nonmagnetic concentrator has been validated by full-wave finite element simulations. We can believe that this work will improve the flexibilities for the EM concentrator design.
