The material of the opaque zones was changed to copper, aluminum, and glass to form a VC2 and power enhancement. The opaque zones with aluminum and copper behave as an obstacle at the new frequency by VC2 for the propagation of the electromagnetic wave. While the opaque zones with insulating material (glass) also contributed to forming VC2 and suitable for the power enhancement by VC2 at the new frequencies.
