  The problem of suppressing the scattering from conductive objects is addressed in terms of harmonic contrast reduction. A unique compact closed-form solution for a surface impedance $Z_s(m,kr)$ is found in a straightforward manner and without any approximation as a function of the harmonic index $m$ (scattering mode to suppress) and of the frequency regime $kr$ (product of wavenumber $k$ and radius $r$ of the cloaked system) at any frequency regime. In the quasi-static limit, mantle cloaking is obtained as a particular case for $kr \ll 1$ and $m=0$. In addition, beyond quasi-static regime, impedance coatings for a selected dominant harmonic wave can be designed with proper dispersive behaviour, resulting in improved reduction levels and harmonic filtering capability.
