Both the Galerkin's and mode-matching methods are used to analyze the reflection and radiation properties of a coaxial cable with a circumferential slot on the outer conductor. The effects of higher order modes are also included. The accumulated effect of multiple slots on the reflected signal is also studied by using a Monte Carlo simulation.
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.
