Abstract :
A method of calculating the radiation fields of a multilayer plasma-clad slot antenna using discrete waveguide modes has been formulated. The fields of a plasma-covered slot radiating into a large waveguide are computed several wavelengths from the antenna. For large guides these fields represent the radiation pattern of an open structure.
