Characteristic modes for slots in a ground plane TE case
Abstract
Consider an infinitely long slot in a ground plane in an unbounded medium illuminated by a uniform TE (to the slot axis) plane wave. The theory of characteristic modes for slots is applied for solution of the problem. The characteristic currents and fields, as well as the equivalent magnetic current, transmission coefficient, and transmitted field pattern, of the slot are computed for different slot widths. Analytic expressions for the special case of a narrow slow are also given.
