Abstract

A slotted parallel-plate waveguide, terminated in a specified load, is analyzed in this paper. The guide is excited by an interiortemwave and illumination from an exterior source. An integral equation is developed for the unknown electric field in the slot and it is solved numerically for several cases of interest. Values of slot electric field, scattering parameters, and the far field radiated through the slot are presented graphically.

Analyse

Un guide d’onde à fente, terminé par une charge connue, est excité par des ondestemà l’intérieur et illuminé par une source extérieure. Une équation intégrale est formulée pour le champ électrique dans la fente et une solution numérique est présentée pour plusieurs cas d’intérêt pratique. Les valeurs du champ électrique dans la fente, les facteurs de répartition (transmission et réflexion) et le champ rayonné à grande distance par la fente sont représentés graphiquement.
