Abstract
The admittance of an untilted slot in the narrow wall of a rectangular waveguide is calculated by including the actual external structure. The slot is excited by two tilted thin wires inside the waveguide. The slot is also allowed to extend into the two broad walls of the waveguide to make it sufficiently long for resonance to occur. The external slot admittance is evaluated by using a spectrum of two-dimensional solutions, a method which can handle the arbitrary cross section of the external structure, The analysis predicts that if both the slot and the wires are tuned to resonance, the transmission coefficient gets constant phase over a wide-frequency band. The results also show that resonance can be obtained for any slot length by adjusting the wire length, and this relation between the lengths is presented. The distance between the slot and the wires needed to maximize the radiated power is also shown; some results are confirmed by measurements.
