abstract

  • Tapered slot antennas(TSA) are attractive because of their simplicity and broadband features. Although TSAs have been used for several years in industry, their analysis has been restricted to metallic TSAs whereas in most cases a dielectric substrate is employed. Also, so far previous analysis have primarily concentrated on pattern computations rather than input impedance. In this paper, the finite element-boundary integral method is employed for modeling practical TSAs and input impedance calculations are given.
