Typically confined to optical frequencies, it has recently been extended to microwaves but limited to the generation of an electromagnetic field with orbital angular momentum. In this contribution, we extend the possibility of generating structured fields at microwave frequencies to the case of an electromagnetic field with a Möbius strip polarization state. In particular, by using the cavity model, we analytically show that the required phase and amplitude patterns can be obtained by superimposing the radiated fields generated by different modes of a patch antenna.","PeriodicalId":6587,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"49-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75362995","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}

Here, we review the main characteristics of a conventional Doppler cloak, consisting of a system composed of a planar reflector covered by a spatio-temporally modulated slab.
