In this paper, we investigate the possibility of improving efficiency in non-radiative wireless power transfer (WPT) using metasurfaces embedded between two current varying coils and present a complete theoretical analysis of this system. We use a point-dipole approximation to calculate the fields of the coils. Based on this method, we obtain closed-form and analytical expressions which would provide basic insights into the possibility of efficiency improvement with metasurface. In our analysis, we use the equivalent two sided surface impedance model to analyze the metasurface and to show for which equivalent surface impedance the WPT efficiency will be maximized at the design frequency. Then, to validate our theory, we perform a full-wave simulation for analyzing a practical WPT system, including two circular loop antennas at 13.56 MHz. We then design a metasurface composed of single-sided CLSRRs to achieve a magnetic lensing based on the calculated equivalent surface impedance. The analytical results and full-wave simulations indicated non-radiative WPT efficiency improvement due to amplifying the near evanescent field which can be achieved through inserting the proposed metasurface.
The authors proposed analytical models applicable to monolayer and multilayer mantle cloaks for suppressing the scattering fields of electrically large conducting objects using printed ultrathin metasurfaces. To analyse the proposed structure, the two‐sided impedance surface method is used and the scattering cross section (SCS) is obtained using Mie theory. It is shown that using surface impedance expression obtained from the analytical model for monolayer mantle cloak they can design a proper unit cell of a metasurface to reduce significantly total scattering from the cylinder. The proposed mantle cloaks in this work are mainly designed to minimise simultaneously several scattering multi‐poles of a relatively large object around considerably broad bandwidth. Numerical results and full‐wave simulation show good cloaking performance in designed frequency. The simulated results using their analytical models as well as the full‐wave results show that the multilayer mantle cloak is an optimised candidate for cloaking of electrically large objects. The proposed multilayer mantle cloak confirms 3.6 dB SCS gain to cancel the scattering fields of a perfect electric conductor cylinder with a radius of 1.425λ0 at the designed frequency. Finally, they consider a cluster of closely spaced and overlapping three cloaked cylinders for suppression of electromagnetic fields.
