Popis: The cylindrical illusion device with isotropic and homogeneous materials is studied deeply based on the Mie scattering theory. The formula for illusion of core-shell structure is derived in the quasistatic approximation. Whether the inner core is a dielectric or PEC material, it can be equivalent to a certain target cylinder after wrapping a properly designed shell. We investigate what range of permittivity of the shell may be possible to achieve a target, which can provide convenient and intuitive design charts for an approximate design a core-shell illusion device. It is found that the number for the thickness of the shell is zero, one or two when the permittivities of the target and the shell take a variety of parameters. Moreover, the physical insights into the parameters' distribution are explained by analyzing the electric dipole moments in each part of the core-shell structure. It is interesting to see that a double negative material can be equivalently achieved by a PEC core coated with a positive magnetic material, which may offer a new design approach for the realization of double negative materials. The scattering widths and full-wave simulations are given to verify correctness of the proposed method.
