Abstract :
The problem of electromagnetic scattering from an arbitrary homogeneous chiral body of revolution is formulated using the surface equivalence principle and is solved numerically by the method of moments. The numerical solution is implemented by means of a general computer program written for chiral bodies of revolution. Numerical results are given for bistatic radar cross sections of a chiral sphere. These results agree well with exact results obtained by the eigenfunction solution.
