Scattering by a chiral cylinder of arbitrary cross section
Abstract
An integral equation and method-of-moments (MM) solution to the problem of scattering by an inhomogeneous chiral cylinder of arbitrary cross section is presented. The volume equivalence theorem for chiral media is developed and used to formulate a set of coupled integral equations for the electric and magnetic volume polarization currents representing the chiral cylinder. These coupled integral equations are solved using a standard pulse basis and point-matching MM solution. Numerical results, including echo width and internal fields, are presented for the scattering by chiral slabs and circular cylinders. These results are compared to exact solutions when available.
