Abstract

A perfect electric conductor placed in chiral nihility medium and excited by a uniform plane wave has been considered as an original problem. Using fractional operators, solutions to Maxwell equations which may be regarded as intermediate step between the original solution and dual to the original solution are determined. Each fractional operator is composed of fractional curl operator. As more than one dual to original solution exists, so in each case, corresponding impedance of the fractional dual reflector has been determined.
