ABSTRACT:
Antenna structures and chiral radomes solve the aforementioned long-felt needs and provide efficient and multipolarized antenna structures and radomes. In a preferred embodiment, a radome for covering an antenna comprises a chiral medium. In a further preferred embodiment, a method of manufacturing an antenna structure comprising the step of embedding an antenna element in a radome which further comprises a chiral medium is also provided.
