Reciprocity relations for a conductive scatterer with a chiral core in quasi-static form

Abstract

We analyse a scattering problem of electromagnetic waves by a bounded chiral conductive obstacle, which is surrounded by a dielectric, via the quasi-stationary approximation for the Maxwell equations. We prove the reciprocity relations for incident plane and spherical electric waves upon the scatterer. Mixed reciprocity relations have also been proved for a plane wave and a spherical wave. In the case of spherical waves, the point sources are located either inside or outside the scatterer. These relations are used to study the inverse scattering problems. doi:10.1017/S144618111800007X
