본 논문에서는 준등각 맵핑 기반 전자기파 투명화 구조의 산란 단면적(Scattering Cross Section: SCS)을 최소화 시키는 설계 방법을 제시한다. 준등각 맵핑에 기반하여 설계한 전자기파 투명화 구조를 사각형 형태로 잘라낸 뒤 경계면 밖의 굴절률과 내부의 1미만인 굴절률을 자유 공간으로 근사하는 방법을 사용함으로써 구현하기 어려운 굴절률 문제를 해결하였다. 사각형 형태의 크기는 시뮬레이션을 통해 전자기파 투명화 구조를 적용한 마름모형 금속 물체의 산란 단면적이 최소가 되도록 최적화하였다. 설계된 자유 공간형 전자기파 투명화 구조를 3D 프린터를 이용하여 제작, 산란파 저감 특성을 전자기장 스캐너를 이용하여 실험적으로 검증하였다.

In this paper we present an alternative approach to addressing the problem of designing cloaks for radar targets, which have been dealt with in the past by using the transformation optics (TO) algorithm. The present design utilizes realistic materials, which can be fabricated in the laboratory, and are wideband as well as relatively insensitive to polarization and incident angle of the incoming wave. The design strategy, presented herein, circumvents the need to use metamaterials for cloak designs that are inherently narrowband, dispersive and highly sensitive to polarization and incident angle. A new interpretation of the TO algorithm is presented and is employed for the design of radar cross section-reducing absorbers for arbitrary targets, and not just for canonical shapes, e.g., cylinders. The topic of performance enhancement of the absorbers by using graphene materials and embedded frequency structure surfaces is briefly mentioned. The design procedure for planar absorbing covers is presented and their performance as wrappers of general objects is discussed. A number of test cases are included as examples to illustrate the application of the proposed design methodology, which is a modification of the classical TO paradigm.
