Cloaking an object in a half space without reflection

A novel cloaking scheme to hide an object in a half space from electromagnetic （EM） detection without reflection is firstly presented. The proposed cloaking scheme contains a couple of matching strips, which consist of an isotropic material layer and an anisotropic UPML layer, located right under the bottom surface of a semi-cylindrical cloaking shell. Simple expressions for the material parameters of the cloaking scheme are derived. Numerical simulations are also performed, and a good cloaking effect is achieved. The cloaking scheme is effective to hide the local object with strong scattering characters placed on mobile carders, such as the radar antenna system on an aircraft.
