The problem has been reduced to a second-kind Fredholm set of linear algebraic equations, allowing an analytic solution for the particular case of an unclosed conic surface with a high degree of transparency. The results may prove useful for the design of wide band and superwide band (SWB) slotted antennas with transparent walls. %8 2014-12-05
