Two types of NICs with EF and without EF, designed to generate a negative capacitance of -100 pF, are demonstrated theoretically by using circuit simulators. Compared with the NIC without EF, the proposed one can provide 1.7 times wider bandwidth from DC to 7.2 MHz with an amplitude deviation of less than 2.3 dB. The EF circuit is considered to be useful also for high-frequency-NICs to enhance their operational bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":151955,"journal":{"name":"2014 8th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122728966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis is based on the solution of the scattering problem in terms of elliptical waves given by the radial and angular Mathieu functions with the sheet impedance boundary conditions at the graphene metasurface, having closed-form expression for the surface impedance. The scattering cancellation occurs for all the incident angles and all the scattering angles with a specific value of surface reactance of graphene nanopatches. A special case of cloaking with the elliptically shaped metasurface concerns a 2-D metallic strip represented as a degenerated ellipse, such that the focal points of the elliptical cloak coincide with the edges of the strip. It is shown that the nanostructured graphene metasurface with the same geometrical parameters can be used for cloaking of elliptical cylinders of different dimensions, including the case of a strip, by varying the Fermi energy of graphene.","PeriodicalId":151955,"journal":{"name":"2014 8th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133095266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
