Abstract
A transverse edge slot defined in the narrow wall of a rectangular waveguide with a first elongated conductor portion having one end attached to the narrow wall adjacent the slot and the second end extending inwardly generally perpendicular to the narrow wall and a second elongated conductor with one end connected to a broad wall and the free ends connected together to form a probe-loop feed.
Claims6
In a rectangular waveguide having broad walls and narrow walls, feed apparatus for a transverse edge waveguide slot comprising a conductor lying in a plane generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the waveguide with a first portion connected adjacent an end thereof to a narrow wall adjacent the slot and extending generally perpendicularly inwardly therefrom, and a second portion connected adjacent an end thereof to a broad wall and extending generally perpendicularly inwardly therefrom.
In a rectangular waveguide having broad walls and narrow walls, a transverse edge slot radiator comprising:
- (a) a transverse edge slot defined by the waveguide and extending generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the waveguide in a narrow wall;
- (b) a first elongated conductor portion connected adjacent one end thereof to the narrow wall adjacent said slot and extending perpendicularly inwardly therefrom;
- and
- (c) a second elongated conductor portion connected adjacent one end thereof to a broad wall and extending perpendicularly inwardly therefrom, the inwardly extended ends of said first and second conductor portions being connected together.
