Possibility of the simulation of a slow-wave system by a phased array of waveguides
Abstract
From general considerations it is shown that neither a flush mounted waveguide nor a phased array of waveguides is capable of simulating a transverse-magnetic slow-wave structure. Their superficial resemblance to slow-wave systems is traced to the paradox of Mach's Wave Machine.
