Analysis of linearly tapered slot antennas on a dielectric substrate

Abstract

LTSAs (linearly tapered slot antennas) on a finite dielectric substrate are analyzed rigorously by the MoM (method of moments). The feed section of the antenna including the microstripline-to-slotline transition is also incorporated in the model. The validity of the model is checked by comparisons with measured data for both air and dielectric LTSAs.<>
