Single frequency microwave cloaking and subwavelength imaging with curved wired media

We consider the cloaking properties of electromagnetic wired media deduced from arbitrary coordinate transformations. We propose an interpretation of invisibility via sub-wavelength imaging features. The quality of cloaking is assessed by the level of deformation of the image of a P-shaped source through the stretched wired media: the lesser the image deformation, the more effective the cloaking. We numerically and experimentally demonstrate a tetrahedral wired cloak with longer edge length about 7cm at a frequency of 1GHz (the cloak is thus subwavelength). The wired cloak has two functionalities: it can serve as a high-resolution imaging system over long distances, and it can also perform space transformations such as, but not limited to, cloaking at a single operation frequency.
