Coupling through narrow slot apertures to thin-wire structures

Electromagnetic coupling through a narrow slot aperture in an infinite ground plane is considered when a thin wire is present in the coupled half-space. The effect of the wire on coupling is determined. The slot has width and depth. The method of moments is applied to determine equivalent aperture currents and wire currents. Then coupling is calculated from the resulting fields. Results are presented for high and low Q slots and on and off resonance.
