Influence of Material Parameters in a Superstrate Made by Transformation Optics to Drastically Change the Radiation Pattern of an Antenna

This paper discusses the role of extreme material parameters (MP) of a superstrate designed using Transformation Optics (TO), which reorients the radiation of a patch antenna in its azimuthal plane. A MP profile obtained from TO method is compared with a second dielectric MP profile with identical refractive indices to highlight the role of high permittivity and low permeability values.
