Abstract

The time-harmonic electromagnetic plane waves incident on a perfectly conducting obstacle in a homogeneous chiral environment are considered. A two-dimensional direct scattering model is established and the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the problem are discussed by an integral equation approach. The inverse scattering problem to find the shape of scatterer with the given far-field data is formulated. Result on the uniqueness of the inverse problem is proved.
