Radiation Conductance of Axial and Transverse Slots in Cylinders of Elliptical Cross Section

Expressions for the radiation field of axial and transverse slots in cylinders of elliptical cross-section are derived by a method based on diffraction theory and the principle of reciprocity. Radiation patterns of transverse slots and curves of radiation conductance are presented. It is shown that the radiation conductance is influenced considerably by the degree of curvature of the surface on which the slot is located.
