Abstract :
A new procedure to extract all three constitutive parameters of chiral material from waveguide measurements is presented. Two chiral slabs of different length must be measured. Their scattering parameters are inverted in a largely analytical way, complemented by a simple and fast convergent numerical algorithm. Tests with synthetic scattering data show the method to be very accurate and stable
