The problem of suppressing the scattering from conductive objects is addressed in terms of harmonic contrast reduction. A unique compact closed-form solution for a surface impedance (, ) is found in a straightforward manner and without any approximation as a function of the harmonic index (scattering mode to suppress) and of the frequency regime (product of wavenumber and radius of the cloaked system) at any frequency regime. In the quasi-static limit, mantle cloaking is obtained as a particular case for ≪1 and =0. In addition, beyond the quasi-static regime, impedance coatings for a selected dominant harmonic wave can be designed with proper dispersive behavior, resulting in improved reduction levels and harmonic filtering capability.

Abstract
The problem of suppressing the scattering from conductive objects is addressed in terms of harmonic contrast reduction. A unique compact closed-form solution for a surface impedance (, ) is found in a straightforward manner and without any approximation as a function of the harmonic index (scattering mode to suppress) and of the frequency regime (product of wavenumber and radius of the cloaked system) at any frequency regime. In the quasi-static limit, mantle cloaking is obtained as a particular case for ≪1 and =0. In addition, beyond the quasi-static regime, impedance coatings for a selected dominant harmonic wave can be designed with proper dispersive behavior, resulting in improved reduction levels and harmonic filtering capability.Pubblicazioni consigliate
