A moment method analysis of a transverse slot fed by a boxed stripline

A moment method analysis of a slot radiator excited by means of a boxed stripline configuration has been developed. The method employs entire domain basis functions to optimise computational efficiency and the results obtained are generally in good agreement with measurement and with the theoretical predictions of other contributors. This is particularly true for the more practical, strongly coupled, configurations for which the strip feed line lies entirely under the slot radiator.<>
