A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE FIELDS IN A RECTANGULAR WAVEGUIDE WITH AN OBLIQUE SHORTED END

Abstract

It is shown that if the fundamental mode in a rectangular wave guide undergoes a phase shift lambda when it encounters a sloping shorted end, each evanescent mode of the near field at the shorted end possesses a common phase angle (3 pi/2) - lambda. The equations which determine the relations between the phase lambda and the amplitudes rho sub n of the evanescent modes are established. The results suggested that lambda and rho sub n are complicated functions of the angle of slope. Some experimental work is recommended if further progress is to be made.
