  • Abstract
    In this paper, we discuss the connection between radiation resistance formulas for antenna in free-space and in rectangular waveguide. We demonstrate with the example of monopole antenna that a transformation between the angular direction in free-space and mode indices in waveguide makes the formulas for antenna radiation resistance in free-space and in rectangular waveguide equivalent to each other.
