Electromagnetic cloaking with metamaterials

Electromagnetic cloaking has aroused increasing interest in the scientific community, especially amongst researchers who are developing so-called metamaterials - artificial composites having exotic electromagnetic properties. In this paper we review the basic principles of metamaterials, especially those for cloaking applications, and describe the recent developments in the field of electromagnetic cloaking. Attention is given also to the recently proposed cloaking technique which is based on networks of transmission lines.
