ROD-EXCITED WAVEGUIDE SLOT ANTENNA

摘要

A power-radiating slotted waveguide comprises one or more rods mounted inside the waveguide adjacent a non-inclined slot. The rod causes power to be radiated and because the slot is non-inclined, undesirable cross-polarized radiation is minimized. The energy radiated from the slot can be varied by varying the area between the rod and the waveguide walls.
