Metasurface cloaks for decoupling electromagnetic interference within highly dense areas

Abstract

This paper presents the results of intensive investigations of electromagnetic interference caused primarily by closely arranged antennas within subwavelength distance; potential applications involve the principle of scattering cancellation. A cloaked planar monopole antenna (CPMA) is newly proposed in this work. The performance of the CPMA is compared with that of a bare planar monopole antenna. Numerical simulations with the two antenna types were conducted, and various configurations with the potential for practical applications in the industrial and defense sectors were tested.
