Sumario:The optimization problem of cloaking a perfectly electric conducting or dielectric spherical core is investigated. The primary excitation is due to an external magnetic dipole. The chaotic accelerated particle swarm optimization (CAPSO) algorithm is adjusted and applied to this optimization problem. The optimization variables are the radii, the permittivities and the permeabilities of a small number of spherical shells covering the core. Several feasible optimal designs are obtained, which exhibit perfect or almost perfect cloaking performance for all angles of observation. These optimal designs correspond to two, three or four spherical coating layers composed of ordinary materials. Detailed parametric investigations of the cloaking mechanism with respect to the type and radius of the core and the location of the primary dipole are carried out. The presented optimization procedure and the reported results are expected to be useful in applications like scattering and characterization of optical particles as well as in designing low-profile receiving antennas.
