Towards this goal, an innovative transformation electromagnetics (TE) methodology is introduced leveraging on the Schwarz‐Christoffel (SC) theorem. Thanks to the SC‐TE method it is possible to design meta‐lenses with low anisotropy/complexity and doubly‐connected contours, i.e., having internal forbidden regions/holes where the material properties cannot be arbitrarily changed. Some numerical results are shown in order to verify the effectiveness and the potential of the proposed design technique when dealing with conformal transformations with different degrees of deformation. publisher: ELEDIA@UniTN (University of Trento) referencetext: M.
