Abstract
A metamaterial cloak is provided for extending deflection of an electromagnetic beam for a vertical beam angle other than bore sight. The cloak deflects an electromagnetic beam from a source in an environment and includes a laminate structure and an electromagnetic guide. The structure includes a plurality of conductive metal plates and metamaterial layers sandwiched therebetween within a planar shape. The electromagnetic guide is disposed around the laminate structure to provide a frontal face to the source. The guide matches impedance of the laminate structure.
