Transformation media based super focusing antenna

We propose a new kind of focusing antenna with a large effective diameter based on transformation optics. The device contains a traditional parabolic antenna embedded in a dielectric core and coated by a negative index shell. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate its advantages.
