Abstract :
Image theory for a chiral body over a perfect electric or magnetic conducting ground plane is developed using the chiral volume equivalence theorem and conventional image theory for electric and magnetic currents. It is shown that the image of the chiral body has the same material parameters as the original body, except that the chirality admittance of the image is the negative of the original. In essence the mirror image of a chiral object is that object, such as a helix, with the opposite handedness. Alternatively, the same results can be obtained using tensor analysis
