description An inverse scattering problem of time-harmonic chiral electromagnetic waves for a buried partially coated object was studied. The buried object was embedded in a piecewise isotropic homogeneous background chiral material. On the boundary of the scattering object, the total electromagnetic field satisfied perfect conductor and impedance boundary conditions. A modified linear sampling method, which originated from the chiral reciprocity gap functional, was employed for reconstruction of the shape of the buried object without requiring any a priori knowledge of the material properties of the scattering object. Furthermore, a characterization of the impedance of the object’s surface was determined.
