Abstract

When the electric intensities on two parallel planes, of which the two perfectly conducting sides of a wave-guide of finite length and infinite width are portions, are taken as unknowns, the problem of the diffraction of a plane harmonic electromagnetic wave polarized parallel to the edges of the guide leads to two integral equations. By means of the Laplace transform these equations are converted into others suitable for solution by successive substitutions. The series thus obtained is too complex for practical purposes, and so an approximate solution is found for the case when the length of the guide is large compared with the wavelength. Finally, there is a brief discussion of the difference between the distant fields when l is large and when l is infinite.
