DOI 10.1109/map.2015.2470673
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article is devoted to the theoretical and experimental study of diffraction radiation effects. Diffraction radiation is generated by the scattering of an eigenfield of densitymodulated electron beam or a surface eigenwave of open dielectric waveguide on a nearby periodic structure. For the first time, these effects were studied using rigorous models exploiting exact absorbing conditions (EACs). This article also details the design and experimental testing of radiating elements for planar diffraction antennas with extremely low sidelobe levels, which exploit diffraction radiation effects.
