In this article the normalized co‐ and cross‐polarized radar cross sections (RCSs) of Faraday chiral cylindrical scatterers are studied. Such scatterers include one‐layer Faraday chiral cylinder and cylindrical shells, and an impedance cylinder coated with a one‐layer Faraday chiral medium. Numerical results are presented to show the combined effects of dispersion and damping of different constitutive parameters on the RCS and near‐field distribution of scatterers. It is believed that the present study provides some insight into the physical features of Faraday chiral materials. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
