One of the most desirable candidates catering for these demands is the tapered slot antenna (TSA), which belongs to a group of endfire traveling wave antennas. The most attractive of the TSAs in contrast to other kinds of planar antennas are that it can work over a large frequency bandwidth, low cost, easy fabrication, low profile and produce a symmetric endfire beam with appreciable gain and low sidelobes. In this paper, a new configuration of Tapered Slot Antenna (TSA) with an improved return loss and radiation pattern is presented. The new design has tapered section expressed by the Tchebychev function. In addition, a new technique, using CPW to slotline transition in order to couple the CPW to the slotline input of the Tchebychev antenna is introduced. This transition offered the advantage of an inline port geometry suitable for array applications.","PeriodicalId":334204,"journal":{"name":"1998 Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129447917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The environment consists of a 3 cubic meter anechoic chamber and a plane wave generating source antenna made of WRJ-10 waveguide arrays. The latter, however, had a narrow frequency range of operation very close to f=12 GHz because of the nature of the waveguide structure and the feed system. The source antenna the authors are considering here is the arrays of waveguides with slots on the E-plane wall of the waveguides. By combining 48 of these waveguides, the source antenna with its approximate aperture dimensions being 1200 mm × 1200 mm is constructed. This waveguide array antenna is to be fed by a corporate feed system so that an equi-phase /equi-amplitude feed at each waveguide end is realized over the X-band frequency range. Since the wave front of a waveguide slot array become tilted when excited by a wave different from the designed frequency, slight rotation of the source antenna system is being planned. In this paper, as a first step of fabricating the planar array, the basic properties of the element waveguide are investigated.","PeriodicalId":334204,"journal":{"name":"1998 Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121709118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
