Abstract

The problem of the radar cross section (RCS) of a biisotropic stratified structure is considered. By means of the method of lines (MoL) we first found the spectral dyadic Green´s function for a generic multilayered biisotropic (chiral) structure, then we determined the behavior of the RCS in the spatial domain. Numerical results for a biisotropic monolayered structure are presented. This study may find application for stratified media involving an arbitrary number of layers like planar microwave and millimeter-wave components and printed circuit antennas.
