Scattering of left and right circularly polarized electromagnetic plane waves from aperfect electrically conducting strip placed in homogenous isotropic chiral mediumis investigated using Kobayashi Potential (KP) method. The KP method is beingemployed for the first time to investigate the scattering phenomenon in homoge-neous isotropic chiral medium. In the problem formulation, we encounter dualintegral equations which are solved using discontinuous properties of Weber–Schafheitlin’s integral. Far zone scattered co- and cross-components are determinednumerically using steepest descent method. Dependence of scattered co- and cross-components on angle of incidence and the chirality parameter has been demon-strated through numerical results.
1. Introduction
A number of techniques have been used by the researchers to address the problems ofscattering of electromagnetic waves from strip.[1–16] The high-frequency techniquesare most often used in situation when the size of the object is large compared to thewavelength of the incident electromagnetic waves. They include the methods of Physi-cal Optics,[8,9] Physical Theory of Diffraction, and Geometrical Theory of Diffrac-tion.[10] When the size of a scatterer is not larger, Method of Moment (MoM),originally introduced by Harrington, works very well and is numerically exact.[11–13]Wiener–Hopf technique has also been used in scattering from strip by many research-ers.[14–16]
Kobayashi proposed another method using characteristic functions satisfyingboundary and edge conditions simultaneously by making use of the properties ofWeber–Schafheitlin’s discontinuous Integrals. Kobayashi used this method to solve theelectrostatic problem of an electrified conducting disk. The method was later named asKobayashi Potential (KP) by Sneddon in [17]. It is based on eigen function expansionapproach and has similarities to the MoM in the spectral domain with different formu-lation. The MoM is based on integral equation while the KP method is based on dualintegral equations. Also, for the KP method, the mathematical formulation satisfies boththe edge and boundary conditions and leads to faster convergent solutions. The disad-vantage of the KP method is that it is applicable to limited geometries such as circularand rectangular plates and apertures.[18] The KP method has been employed for anumber of applications.[19–32]

A chiral medium is an optically active medium that has been the subject of researchfor years. A number of applications exist in the real world, such as its use as a coatingmaterial to reduce the radar cross-section.[33] As a matter of fact, it is one of the reci-procal media with peculiar properties like existence of different phase velocities for theright circularly polarized (RCP) and left circularly polarized (LCP) electromagneticplane waves. When the chiral medium becomes lossless, there is rotation of the polari-zation of the linearly polarized wave that passes through such medium. An isotropicchiral medium in Drude–Born–Fedorov representation is characterized by the followingconstitutive relations [34]
D ¼ eEþ ebr� E (1a)
B ¼ lHþ lbr�H (1b)
Here, ɛ and μ are the permittivity and the permeability of the isotropic chiral medium,respectively, and β is the chirality parameter. Electric and magnetic fields in chiral med-ium may be expressed in terms of Beltrami fields as
E ¼ Q1 � jgQ2 (2a)
H ¼ � j

where Q1 and Q2 are LCP and RCP Beltrami fields, respectively, and g ¼ ffiffile

The analysis of the scattering from a conducting strip placed in bi-isotropic mediumis done using the Wiener–Hopf method.[14–16] The scattering phenomenon from anobstacle placed in homogenous isotropic chiral medium is performed by making use ofthe surface integral equations.[35] However, the KP method has not yet been deployedin finding the scattering from any type of geometry placed in homogenous isotropicchiral medium. In this paper, we investigate the scattering of LCP and RCP planewaves from Perfect Electric Conducting (PEC) strip placed in the homogenous isotropicchiral medium. For the geometry taken, the curl equations are obtained by taking intoaccount only the longitudinal components of the LCP and RCP wave as other compo-nents could be derived from them. The boundary conditions are used to obtain the dualintegral equations which are solved with the help of Weber–Schafheitlin’s discontinuousintegrals. The solution to the matrix equations, obtained using orthogonal property of

Jacobi’s polynomials, is obtained numerically which leads to the determination of theexpansion co-efficients. Finally, the scattered far zone fields are calculated using thesteepest descent method and plotted for the corresponding analysis.
2. Formulation of the problem and KP method
Consider a PEC strip of negligible small thickness having width 2a and of infiniteextent along z-axis is placed in an isotropic chiral medium. Longitudinal componentsof incident LCP and RCP Beltrami fields are written below
Qinc1z ¼ P1e
�jc1aðcos/0xaþsin/0yaÞ (4a)
Qinc2z ¼ P2e
�jc2aðcos/0xaþsin/0yaÞ (4b)
In above equations γ1a = aγ1, γ2a = aγ2, xa ¼ xa, ya ¼ y
a. P1 and P2 are amplitudes of lon-gitudinal component of incident LCP and RCP Beltrami fields, respectively, and bothare making angle ϕ0 with positive x-axis. As strip is infinite along z-axis, curl Equa-tions (3a) reduce to following set of equations
Q1x ¼ 1
c1a
@Q1z
@ya(5a)
Q1y ¼ � 1
c1a

@xa(5b)
Q2x ¼ � 1
c2a
@Q2z
@ya(5c)
Q2y ¼ 1
c2a
@Q2z
@xa(5d)
From above equations, it may be noted that with the help of longitudinal component ofLCP and RCP Beltrami fields other components can be determined using these compo-nents. So we only need to determine scattering of longitudinal components. ScatteredBeltrami fields from strip with unknown weighting functions may be assumed as

Equations (11)–(14) are dual integral equations. Equations (13) and (14) will be satis-fied using discontinuous properties of Weber–Schafheitlin’s integral while other twoequations will help us to determine the expansion co-efficients. Equation (13) is satis-fied, if we assume the following relations

By choosing above relation, we have satisfied edge condition of Htz . Similarly Equation

3. Numerical results and discussion
The determination of the expansion co-efficients Am, Bm, Cm, and Dm for LCP andRCP, has been accomplished by solving the Equations (18) and (19). The integralsappeared in Equations (18) and (19) have been written in series forms and orders ofmatrices were taken ð2c1a þ 1Þð2c1a þ 1Þ in computation. After computing, they havebeen used for the computation of the far field scattered patterns using Equations (20a)and (20b). The plots have been taken separately for the LCP and RCP to have ananalysis of the scattered fields deeply. Figure 1(a) and (b) shows the scattered co-polar-ized component and the cross-polarized component, respectively, when LCP wave is

When the incident fields have amplitudes P1 = 1/2, P2 = j/2η and kβ→ 0, the inci-dent circularly polarized plane wave becomes Ez polarized. However, it becomes Hz

polarized under the conditions P1 = jη, P2 = 1 and kβ→ 0. These results coincide withthe scattering from PEC strip in free space, and thus validate our formulation.
4. Conclusions
The scattering of the LCP and RCP plane electromagnetic wave is accomplished froma perfect electrically conducting strip placed in homogenous isotropic chiral mediumusing the KP method. The KP method allows the satisfaction of edge and boundaryconditions simultaneously leading to a simpler formulation. The results show that forthe LCP incident plane wave, an increase in the chirality of the medium increases theamplitude of the main lobe of the co-scattered field and decreases the amplitude of thecross-scattered field. However, the scattering angle of the main lobe of the co-scatteredfield does not vary while that of the cross-scattered field increases. For the RCP inci-dent wave, an increase in the chirality of the medium decreases the amplitude of themain lobe of the co-scattered field while the scattering angle remains the same. How-ever, the amplitude of the main lobe of the cross-scattered field increases while its scat-tering angle decreases.
