Mutual Coupling in Longitudinal Arrays of Compound Slots
نویسندگان
چکیده
The arrays of compound-slots (inclined and displaced from waveguide centre) are not so common in the literature and the existing systematic method of design does not take into account the presence of surrounding elements. For this kind of slots, the reasons why the Elliott’s procedure cannot be applied are physically explained. A new method based on circuit theory and scattering matrices connection to include the effects of the external mutual coupling in compound slots arrays is presented in this paper. To certify the validity of the complete technique, the performance of various designed arrays are compared to the results given by full-wave commercial solvers.

متن کاملA Design Procedure for a Slotted Waveguide With Probe - Fed Slots Radiating into Plasma
A design procedure is developed for slotted-waveguide antennas with probe-fed slots. Radiation into a gyrotropic, plane-stratified medium is considered, nonzero waveguide wall thickness is assumed, and noncosinusoidal slot fields and arbitrary slot length up to about one free-space wavelength are allowed. External mutual coupling is taken into account by matching the tangential fields at the an...

Small size capacitor loaded ground plane slots are used to reduce the mutual coupling between elements in a microstrip antenna array design. The proposed compact slots are inserted between the adjacent E-plane coupled elements in the array to limit the propagation of surface waves between the elements of the array. In order to validate the feasibility of the proposed structure, a two-element ar...
