Effects of Di Electric Loading on Wave Guide H Plane Tee Junctions

Abstract

Slot radiator arrays are used to improve directivity. Slots can be vertical, inclined, or longitudinally oriented in the narrow walls of a rectangular waveguide because vertical slots could not radiate; instead, slightly inclined slots from the broadside are employed, producing horizontally polarised fields. Nevertheless, even little inclinations result in cross-polarized components, which cause EMI issues.

The literature does not take work on dielectric loaded slots into account for this study. So, it is worthwhile to research such slots in order to manage coupling, impedance loading, and VSWR. The information offered in this study is very helpful for both small and big array designs. The idea of self-reaction, discontinuity in modal current, coupling, and VSWR are all used in the study in this paper.
