AN INVERSE DESIGN METHOD FOR METAMATERIAL SHRINKING DEVICE

Abstract

In this paper, an inverse method to determine the parameters of metamaterial shrinking device is developed. Different from the traditional design method, of which the transformation function must be known in advance, this method allows us to directly obtain material parameters of device without any knowledge of the corresponding transformation function. Moreover, to further remove the inhomogeneity and anisotropy of material parameters, layered device composed of only homogeneous and isotropic materials is presented based on effective medium theory. The validity of such a method and shrinking effect of designed device are confirmed by full-wave simulations.
