Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate that the trefoil knot has the unique property that its forward scattering for circularly polarized wares exhibits a stro ng dependence on the handedness of the polarization. Bath a single knot ele ment as well as art array of these knots show this property which could be used in a polarization-selective surface (PSS). (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
