A. Elhajj et al., CHARACTERISTIC MODE ANALYSIS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC COUPLING THROUGH MULTIPLE SLOTS IN A CONDUCTING PLANE, IEE proceedings. Part H, Microwaves, antennas and propagation, 140(6), 1993, pp. 421-425
The problem of electromagnetic coupling through slots in a conducting
plane is studied using characteristic-mode theory; i.e. the problem is
formulated as an operator equation whose solution determines the char
acteristic modes of the problem. The cases treated are those when the
plane is excited by either a transverse electric (TE) or a transverse
magnetic (TM) plane waves with different angles of incidence. It is as
sumed that the media to the right and to the left of the plane exhibit
different electromagnetic properties. Where comparison is possible, t
here is a good agreement with classical results. The computer program
is described briefly, and representative examples are given.
