Abstract
The problem of electromagnetic waves radiation into a space outside a perfectly conducting sphere through a narrow slot, cut in an end-wall of a semi-infinite rectangular waveguide, excited by a fundamental wave of H10 type is solved using a rigorous self-consistent formulation. The starting point for the analysis is the one-dimensional integral equation for the equivalent magnetic current in the slot, obtained by using the effective thickness of the slot. The asymptotic solution of the equation was found by the generalized method of induced magnetomotive forces (MMF). The physical adequacy of the constructed mathematical model to the real physical process is confirmed by experimental data. Influence of the sphere radius upon energy characteristics of the slot radiator was investigated numerically. It was shown that at any frequency of waveguide single-mode range, the radiation coefficient of a spherical antenna can be made close to one by choosing the slot length, the sphere radius and the waveguide height. Conditions for correct application of infinite screen approximation for spherical scatterers with sufficiently large radii are formulated.
