Abstract :
Measurement procedures for obtaining the self-impedance of an isolated inclined radiating slot in the metal wall of a nonradiating dielectric (NRD) waveguide are discussed. The design procedure for an antenna array fed by NRD-waveguide and making use of this information is described. As an example, the design, construction and evaluation of a ten-element input-matched broadside linear array is described.
