An expression is derived for the external admittance of an axial slot cut in an infinitely long metal cylinder that is concentrically coated with a homogeneous dielectric of relative dielectric constant ∊r. The derivation is based on the mode expansion technique of Wait, in conjunction with Parseval's theorem. Determination of the axial surface waves that can be excited by this slot is also obtained. Additionally, azimuthal surface waves are discussed. Complete expressions in normalized form, ready to be computed, for the external conductance and susceptance of the slot are given for an ordinary dielectric coating (∊r ⩾), a plasma coating (0 ⩽ ∊r ⩽ 1), and no coating
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
