Abstract

A rigorous analysis of a broad wall slot array is presented. The slot is longitudinal and offset from the center line in the rectangular waveguide. Pertinent integral equations are developed, taking into account finite wall thickness. The mothed of moment with entire basis function is used to solve a pair of coupled-integral equations, derived from the electromagnetic boundary conditions using modified Green's function, to find the tangential electric field on the upper and lower surfaces of the slot. Numerical results for resonant length and scattering parameters of the slots are Presented over a range of offset. Computed results are compared with experimental result.
