MOMENT METHOD SOLUTION OF A PARTIALLY FILLED PARALLEL PLATE FED THROUGH INFINITE CONDUCTING PLANE (TE CASE)

In this paper, the moment method is used for the solution of the receive case of the partially filled parallel plate fed from a perforated infinite conducting plane. The waveguide is excited by an incident transverse electric (TE) plane wave. An operator equation is first formed using the tangential components of the magnetic fields at the aperture. This equation is used for the computation of the magnetic current on the apertures and the radiation pattern for different cases. Numerical results for the homogeneous case is also given and compared with other available data.
