The scattering of plane time‐harmonic electromagnetic waves propagating in a homogeneous isotropic chiral environment by a bounded perfectly conducting obstacle is studied. The unique solvability of the arising exterior boundary value problem is established by a boundary integral method. Integral representations of the total exterior field, as well as of the left and right electric far‐field patterns are derived. A low‐frequency theory for the approximation of the solution to the above problem, and the derivation of the far‐field patterns is also presented. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
