Abstract :
A hollow tube (rectangular cross-section) employing a frequency selective surface of conducting elements has been constructed and tested as a waveguiding structure. The measured results presented include the frequency response of the waveguide and radiation patterns observed at frequencies away from the guiding region. The important aspects of the results are discussed with reference to fast and slow wave structures.<>
