Abstract

A problem of electromagnetic waves scattering and radiation by a structure, consisting of a narrow transverse slot in broad wall of rectangular waveguide and a vibrator with variable surface impedance, located inside the waveguide and interacting with one another, is solved. A solution of integral equations for electric current on the vibrator and equivalent magnetic current in the slot is derived by the generalized method of induced electro-magneto-motive forces. Conditions necessary for achievement of maximal slot radiation coefficient are defined. Effectiveness of impedance vibrators application to ensure required level of radiation by vibrator-slot structure in low profile rectangular waveguides is shown. Calculated and experimental plots of energy characteristics of the vibrator-slot structure for different vibrator placement relative to the slot and for various surface impedance dependencies upon the vibrator length are presented.
