Self and Mutual Impedance of Electric Dipoles in presence of a Groove-Backed Slotted Flange

Abstract

This work deals with a novel and efficient method for determining self and mutual impedances of a system of electric or magnetic dipoles in proximity of a slot on a ground plane, backed by a rectangular waveguide. The method, which is based on recent results on the radiation modes of open waveguides of non-separable cross-section, can easily accomodate a multiplicity of sources and receivers of finite dimensions.
