Abstract
Electromagnetic activity due to the chirality of n-turn helical objects is investigated in the quasi-stationary approximation. The complex chiral admittance ¿c is computed for a lossy helix embedded in a lossy host medium as a function of the helix dimensions and medium properties using a parallel-wire transmission-line model. The condition for chiral losslessness of an electromagnetically lossy chiral is obtained. With the aid of this model the electromagnetic rotation and circular dichroism are predicted for lossy chirals. The variation of¿c with helix diameter, gauge, pitch and free length for a lossy helix at resonance is demonstrated.
