- Abstract
In this paper electromagnetic Herglotz dyadics are used to develop a superposition method and apply it for the study of an inversion scheme for electromagnetic scattering in chiral media. The direct scattering problem for the perfect conductor is formulated and Beltrami Herglotz dyadics and dyadic electromagnetic Herglotz pairs are being used. Assuming that the incident electromagnetic field is produced by a superposition of plane incident waves, the scattered field and the corresponding far-field pattern are expressed as the superposition of the scattered fields and the corresponding to them far-field patterns respectively. Far-field operators are defined and studied and an integral equation is posed. The solvability of this equation is related to the solution of the interior perfect conductor boundary value problem. Finally, an inversion scheme is posed and a theorem for it's solvability is proved. © de Gruyter 2008.
