An Experimental Investigation of a Two-Slot Transmission Line on Nonplanar Surfaces

The two-slot transmission line, which is the dual of a two-strip line when both lines lie in a plane, is studied experimentally when the metal sheet into which it is cut is bent through angles up to 90/spl deg/. It is found that the bent two-slot line is substantially the dual of a similarly bent two-strip line including a complementary reactive junction network at the bend.
