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 connec...

-This paper presents, method of moments based analysis of broad-wall longitudinal slots array antenna using Multiple Cavity Modeling Technique (MCMT). Theoretical data for reflection coefficient, transmission coefficient, resonance length and resonance conductance have been obtained for two slots in two different waveguide. The theoretical data have been compared with Ansoft HFSS’s simulated da...

The vacuum chamber of a storage ring normally consists of periodically spaced pumping slots. The longitudinal impedance of slots are analyzed in this paper. It is found that although the broad-band impedance is tolerable, the narrow-band impedance, as a consequence of the periodicity of the slots, may exceed the stability limit given by natural damping with no feedback system on. Based on this ...

AIMS To investigate which clusters of gambling activities exist within a longitudinal study of college health, how membership in gambling clusters change over time and whether particular clusters of gambling are associated with unhealthy risk behaviour. DESIGN Four-year longitudinal study (2002-2006). SETTING Large, public university. PARTICIPANTS Undergraduate college students. MEASURE...

A new dual band and dual polarized slot antenna is designed at x band, using longitudinal and transverse slots on the broad wall of the substrate integrated waveguide. The two resonances are completely apart in a low cross polarization level at both sets. antenna has a minimum radiation efficiency of 80% in both bands.

Two designs of conical-beam array antennas are presented for different fifth-generation applications. They based on slotted cylindrical waveguides and a travelling-wave topology, where the waveguide is used to progressively excite cross-slot array. A total 384 cross-slots, formed by transversal longitudinal slots, grouped in rings eight equally-spaced cross-slots. The propagation TM <sub xmlns:...
