Tics of slot antennas and includes the effects of finite and curved surfaces, dielectric coatings, cavity backing, and single slots fed by wave-guides. The simplest example of such an antenna consists of a rectangular slot cut in an extended thin flat sheet of metal with the slot free to radiate on both sides of this sheet, as shown in Figure 8-1. Theatre du casino aix les bains spectacle. This paper presents the design, fabrication, and operation of an edge-wall slotted waveguide array antenna with metal flare for the generation of ultralow side lobes fan-beam radiation. The single traveling wave array antenna consists of 71 radiating elements.

Analytic design of conformal slot arrays

Abstract

A completely analytical design process was developed for small slot arrays, in which the varying effect of mutual coupling is taken into account as a function of element position. This design technique was applied to conformal X-band slot arrays on cylinders of a few wavelengths in diameter. The arrays consist of multiple dielectric-filled waveguides, each of which is a standing-wave linear array of longitudinal shunt slots. The computerized design process adjusts the length and offset of each slot in the total array until the desired aperture distribution and impedance match are achieved.
