Design of a Dual-Polarized Printed Cylindrical Metasurface Cloak

A unidirectional, penetrable cylindrical metasurface cloaking effective for both TE and TM polarizations is presented. The cylindrical metasurface induces surface waves that accept the incident wave of an arbitrary polarization on the lit side and propagate into the shadow side before reconstructing the incident wave behind the cylinder. Complete tangential fields including the surface waves of both polarizations are constructed and optimized. The optimized total fields define the metasurface by a spatially modulated tensorial surface reactance. A physical metasurface is designed using an array of Jerusalem-cross shaped conductor sheet. A cylindrical printed metasurface design of a 4-wavelength diameter is numerically validated.
