Abstract :
The enhancement of impedance matching and the increased absorption afforded by the use of chiral materials are here combined with specified coated surfaces which act as screens or shields for use in radar cross-section management and control. These chiral shields offer attractive advantages with respect to broadband frequency response and reduced reflection when compared to their conventional counterparts.
