Abstract

A transparent device is an electromagnetic structure that is explicitly designed to be transparent to incoming electromagnetic waves. Based on coordinate transformation theory, a novel diamond-shaped transparent device is proposed and designed. It can protect electronic equipments inside without affecting their performance. Compared with a traditional transparent device, the material parameters of the novel transparent device feature homogeneity and non-singularity, which can easily be realized in actual applications. Full-wave simulations are made to validate the performance of the transparent device.
