With this design, any observer will just see a flat ground plane and the scatterer will be invisible and thus effectively cloaked. We have also shown that despite being designed for 45 degrees, accepting a phase advance/delay of 3% of the period, results in an angular bandwidth of [+ or -]6 degrees.

It blurs the user's accurate location and replaces it with a well-shaped cloaked region (usually a circle or a rectangle), according to some anonymity metric such as k-anonymity (the cloaked region must contain at least k users) or granularity (the size of the cloaked region must exceed a threshold).
