ABSTRACT

In this chapter, further problems of wave propagation in rectangular coordinates are considered. Using the knowledge from the previous chapters, closed-form solutions and associated asymptotic expressions are obtained for the fields of many problems, such as the parallel-plate waveguide, the narrow slit, the vertical electric dipole, and the magnetic dipole above a conducting and above a lossy surface. The radiation for an aperture in a conducting plane is analyzed using spatial Fourier transforms, as well as using the Equivalence Theorem.
