Abstract:We analyze a circularly-polarized slot pair on a hollow rectangular waveguide of finite length with corrugations on the bottom by the method of moments. The analysis is for designing a radial line slot antenna for high-power or space applications. The reflection from the end of the corrugation array gives ripples in the slot coupling for the relative position of the slot pair but the ripples are so small that averaging of the slot coupling is acceptable for practical design of the antenna.
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.
