Abstract

We propose a scheme for carpet anti-cloak based on the transformation optics. An anti-cloak layer is designed, which can make the external electromagnetic waves break the carpet cloak shielding. The external electromagnetic waves can be detected under the carpet cloak, while not affecting the role of carpet cloak of stealth. The Jacobian transformation tensor is calculated by numerically solving the Laplace equations with proper boundary condition. Thus, it is possible to design the anti-cloak layer of irregular shape. The simulation results demonstrate the feasibilities and flexibilities of the structure. Design details and full-wave simulation results are provided.
