Abstract
Existing discrete electromagnetic (EM) cloaks are often limited to circular shape and always based on one dimensional discretization of radius variable in cylindrical coordinates. In this paper, we proposed a two dimensional (2D) discrete arbitrary polygon invisible cloak, not limited to symmetrical shapes. A tensor transmission-line (TL) unit cell method is brought in to realize the anisotropic element in the proposed cloak, and the relative formulas between the medium parameters and the lumped circuit parameters are deduced. Furthermore, numerical simulations of typical polygon cloaks are performed, verifying the validity and feasibility of the proposed approach. In summary, the proposed physically realizable cloak could provide a practical approach to an experimental demonstration of electromagnetic cloaking..
