Abstract

The problem of bidirectionality in bianisotropic media, i.e. existence of planeeigenwaves propagating forwards and backwards along a certain direction with the samepropagation factor is discussed. It is shown that bidirectionality in bianisotropicmedia exists for the following directions: (1) perpendicular to a plane of symmetry,(2) perpendicular to a proper axis, (3) along an improper axis, (4) parallel to anantiplane, (5) along an antiaxis of symmetry.
