Abstract :
The moment method of analysis as applied to conventional broadwall slot radiators in a rectangular waveguide has been extended to accommodate the presence of an external parallel plate polariser. This has been achieved by imaging the half space Green´s function, which is used in the conventional analysis, in the `perfectly´ conducting parallel planes. The results obtained are shown to be in good agreement with vector network analyser measurements on typical geometries
