Abstract :
The introduction of chiral materials as substrates for printed structures has been recently proposed in order to explore new solutions for improving their features. Two coupled dipoles of different length on a chiral slab have been considered; the full-wave analysis of the structure is carried on by discretization of the integral equation for the electric field with the method of moment (MoM) in the spectral domain. The effects of the introduction of chirality in the substrate are pointed out considering first the frequency behaviour and the radiated field of the single dipole and then the coupling between the two radiators as a function of the chirality factor
