Abstract

An analysis is presented of the characteristics of a broad wall radiating slot, offset from the center line and tilted with respect to the longitudinal axis of a rectangular waveguide. Pertinent integral equations are developed, taking into account finite wall thickness, and are solved for the slot aperture E-field using the method of moments. Compound slot characteristics are then deduced, including resonant length and dominant mode scattering. Numerical results for the scattering from resonant slots are presented over a range of offsets, tilt angles, frequencies and waveguide dimensions. For resonant compound slots, offset and tilt are shown to control the aperture electric-field amplitude with a phase variability of 360 degrees . The results have significant applications in the design of compound slot arrays.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
