A theoretical determination is made for the susceptance of a narrow conducting strip inserted vertically into a waveguide. The theory is based upon a variational form for the susceptance. A suitable current distribution along the strip is obtained for the variational equation, and is found to be similar to that determined from analysis of backscattering by a cylindrical obstacle irradiated from an incident plane wave. Accurate theoretical results may be obtained using a sinusoidal current distribution having a phase constant of /spl pi//2d, where d is the strip depth. Experimental results agree closely with the theory in the dominant-mode range and also at frequencies below cutoff.
