Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Arrangement of resonators in an aperiodic configurations are described, which can be used for electromagnetic cloaking of objects. The overall assembly of resonators, as structures, do not all repeat periodically and at least some of the resonators are spaced such that their phase centers are separated by more than a wavelength. The arrangements can include resonators of several different sizes and/or geometries arranged so that each size or geometry corresponds to a moderate or high “Q” response that resonates within a specific frequency range, and that arrangement within that specific grouping of akin elements is periodic in the overall structure. The relative spacing and arrangement of groupings can be defined by self similarity and origin symmetry.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electrical resonator system comprising: a plurality of concentric electrical resonator shells, wherein the plurality includes a first group of shells and a second group of shells, each shell including a substrate having first and second surfaces and a close-packed arrangement of electrically conductive material formed on the first surface of each shell and configured to operate at a desired passband of electromagnetic radiation, wherein for the first grou…
