Abstract

A solution is obtained to the problem of radiation from a slot in a parallel-plate transmission line when excited by an E-polarized, dominant mode wave. Expressions are obtained for the reflection and transmission coefficients, and the polar diagram of the radiated field. Explicit calculations are performed when the width of the slot is much greater than the free-space wavelength of the incident radiation.An application of the Lorentz reciprocity theorem yields, without further analysis, the amplitude and phase of the propagated wave which is excited in the line by an incident cylindrical or plane wave.
