An Experimental Study on the Object Shielding Performance of Discrete Metal Wire Array

In this paper, a method of shielding the object behind a discrete metal wire array is proposed and verified by anechoic chamber experiments. Results show that if the metal wire array is dense enough (cell size is smaller than half of the wavelength), the object behind it can be effectually shielded by the discrete metal wire array. The principle can be applied to electromagnetic camouflage and protection.
