Abstract:Arrays of open ended rectangul-ar waveguides in metallic cylindrical surfaces are considered. An analysis which uses mode matching at the cylinder surface to derive inter-element coupling coefficients is described, and some results are presented.The analysis is then extended to obtain expressions for the radiated far field in terms of the aperture distribution in the elements. Element patterns are presented, and compared with a measured result from an experimental cylindrical array; good agreement is seen.The … Show more
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.
