Abstract
High frequency electromagnetic (EM) fields in the focal region of a 3D elliptical reflector placed in a homogeneous and reciprocal chiral background have been analyzed using geometrical optics (GO) approximation and Maslov's method. The GO solutions becomes invalid at the focal region of a 3D elliptical reflector due to unreal singularities. Therefore, an asymptotic method based on Maslov's theory has been applied to derive high frequency EM fields, which is also valid at the focal points. Moreover, the effect of chirality parameter of the background medium on the position of focal points for both Left circularly polarized wave (LCP) and right circularly polarized (RCP) wave are described by plotting the derived expressions numerically using MATLAB.
