Abstract

A procedure based on the T-matrix method is devised to study the electromagnetic response of chiral, (lossy) dielectric, nonspherical objects exposed to an arbitrary incident field. Reductions in the method for axisymmetric objects are discussed. Using the technique thus developed, the plane wave scattering and absorption characteristics of lossy dielectric, axisymmetric scatterers (spheres as well as prolate and oblate spheroids), with and without chiral properties, are examined at frequencies above 50 GHz. The relative permittivity of the objects is assumed to be frequency dependent, whereas the chiral parameters are set to be constant in the numerical study. From the computed results, it appears that chiral spheres are the most effective objects in retarding the progress of an incident plane wave regardless of its polarization.
