Abstract: | Integro-differential equations are formulated for the general problem of a finite-length wire excited through an arbitrarily shaped aperture in a conducting screen. The wire is assumed to be electrically thin and perfectly conducting, and it is arbitrarily oriented behind the perfectly conducting screen of infinite extent. A known, specified incident field illuminates the perforated-screen/wire structure. The integro-differential equations fully account for the coupling between the wire and the aperture/screen. They are specialized to the case of the wire parallel to the screen with the aperture a narrow slot of general length. These special equations are solved numerically and data are presented for wire currents and aperture fields under selected conditions of wire/slot lengths and orientation. Data indicative of the coupling between the wire and slot are presented. |
