Abstract

This paper reports the design features of an electromagnetic device with an improved mapping transformation function allowing perfect electromagnetic rotation. Based on transformation optics theory, theoretical analysis has been used to show the constitutive parameters of both unimproved and improved perfect case which has ultimately validated via full-wave simulations. For implementation of this device, an alternating structure of zero-index metamaterials and perfect electric conductors has been used. The functionality of the proposed structure was verified by numerical simulations.
