Slotted Lines: Basic Concepts and Applications
A slotted line is a specialized type of transmission line used to measure the electrical properties of antennas. It consists of a metal tube with a narrow slot cut along its length. The slot allows a small amount of energy to escape from the line, which can be used to probe the electromagnetic field around an antenna.
