Abstract: | The numerical method that we proposed earlier for solving the problem of diffraction of electromagnetic waves on three-dimensional magnetodielectric bodies of any shape in the resonance frequency range is generalized to the case of objects having chiral properties. The results of numerical calculations of bistatic scattering cross sections of spherical and cylindrical chiral objects are reported. The influence of the values of the chirality parameters and of electrical and magnetic absorption on the scattering diagrams is examined. V. D.
