Summary:

In this paper, a well-know Method of Moments (MoM) is introduced together with the definition of a constant slots correction length in order to simulate the behaviors of slots on a rectangular waveguide having narrow wall. Large array radial line slotted antenna (RLSA) is analyzed and designed using this method, and their measured performances suggest the accuracy of the MoM and the importance of the slot correction length.
