Abstract
Exact mathematic models were developed for traveling wave antennas with a constant slot width based on the dyadic Green function, taking into account both the main and cross-polarization components of the field in the far radiation zone. The possibility of using these models as basic models for studying the electrodynamic properties of traveling wave antennas with a different slot configuration (linearly, exponentially tapering, etc.) is justified. The influence of the geometric parameters of the investigated traveling wave antennas on their characteristics was studied by means of using the established mathematic models. It has been found that in the electrodynamic E plane, with an increase of the length and width of the slot, the main beam of the radiation pattern narrows, which leads to an increase the directed properties of the antennas. In the electrodynamic H plane, the width of the main beam of radiation pattern decreases only as the length of the slot of traveling wave antennas increases and does not depend on its width in practice. It was shown that the established theory results of the study are well consistent with the results of experiments, which also revealed the limitations of the applicability of the developed models. Analysis of traveling wave antennas characteristics was carried out at central frequency of 10 GHz in the frequency range of 8-12 GHz.

Summary
Аннотация – Произведена разработка строгих математических моделей для антенн бегущей волны с постоянной шириной щели на основе тензорной функции Грина с учетом как основной, так и кросс-поляризационной составляющей поля в дальней зоне излучения. Для плоских симметричных щелевых антенн микроволнового диапазона с постоянной шириной щели разработаны математические модели поля излучения в дальней зоне с применением тензорной функции Грина, позволяющие учесть как основную, так и кросс-поляризационную составляющую поля излучения. С использованием этих моделей теоретически рассчитаны семейства диаграмм направленности исследовавшихся ПЩА в Е- и Н-плоскостях для значений длины щели 3 см, 9 см, 15 см и ее ширины 3 см, 6 см, 9 см. Что для Н-плоскости ширина измеренных ДН по уровню половинной мощности хорошо согласуется с расчетными значениями, она тоже определяется длиной щели и слабо (в пределах статистической погрешности) зависит от ее ширины. Высокий УБЛ у измеренных ДН, вероятнее всего, объясняется конечной поверхностью исследова вшихся антенн, их неидеальной формой и наличием отражения от стенок измерительной камеры
