I usually have a problem with these equations. They give no reference to the angle at which the wave is impinging upon the sheet.
The way slots work is to put amaximum differential between the longest sides. If the impinging wave puts a circulating current laterally across the slot, the slot will radiate at a maximum. If the impinging wave puts a circulating current longitudinally along the slot, the slot will radiate at a minimum. It's just that there's a lot of other characteristics which define how a slot radiates. Or are we assuming that everything is perfectly lined up for maximum performance?
