  • Abstract
    Slots in the ground plane of dielectric image lines are investigated using a planar resonator model. An equivalent circuit representation of the slot discontinuity is derived and the launching efficiency of the slot as a mode launcher is discussed. Slots are also demonstrated to be useful in the realization of dielectric image line array antennas.
