We present certain novel characteristics of the radiation pattern of a pseudochiral point‐source antenna, which consists of an elemental antenna embedded in a grounded pseudochiral substrate in the presence of an isotropic half‐space. The pseudochiral Ω medium is a new synthetic bianisotropic material, recently introduced by Engheta and Saadoun [1]. The expression of the electric field radiated by a pseudochiral grounded slab is given in a form such as to simplify the extraction of noticeable information to be used during the project, about the influence of frequency, constitutive parameters, thickness of the slab, and position of the electric source. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
