An Approach to Assessing the Effectiveness of Radiation Conformal Multi-Element Structures with Chiral Filling

The article is devoted to the study of the radiation efficiency of conformal radiating structures with chiral filling. A mathematical model of a conformal radiating structure based on chiral metamaterials has been developed, which allows calculating the distribution of current density, input resistance and other characteristics. Frequency dependencies of the electric and magnetic field energy flux densities for a metamaterial based on thin-wire elements are obtained. It is shown that, in general, there is a strong energy dissipation in the metamaterial even in the case of the use of silver elements.
