Synthesis of Unconventional Feasible Sources for Smart Electromagnetic Enviornments

This work presents an innovative methodology for synthesizing unconventional “feasible” sources enabling the profitable exploitation of the complex scattering phenomena in smart electromagnetic environments (SEEs) for achieving the desired electromagnetic field distribution within a user-defined region-of-interest. Towards this goal, the design of all-dielectric field manipulating devices (FMDs) is formulated according to the inverse source (IS) theory and is solved as a global optimization problem. An illustrative numerical example is shown to assess the effectiveness and the potentialities of the proposed design strategy.
