Slot narrow‐wall couplers are simple but effective directional couplers. A simple and efficient approach to analyze these devices using the FDTD algorithm is presented. The technique uses a synthetic excitation and a second‐order ABC especially designed for the frequencies contained in the incident field. The method is illustrated in the computation of coupling and isolation of a two‐slot ‐20‐dB coupler and is also applied to study a three‐slot coupler. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
