Abstract :
A more systematic and rigorous procedure for analyzing the radiation patterns of an open-ended wavegnide radiating in the presence of a dielectric sphere is presented. The analysis is based on the formula developed earlier [5] for radial translation of the spherical vector wave functions. An experimental program is described which confiras the validity of the analysis presented.
