Abstract
We discuss how the radiation pattern of a reduced ground plane tapered slot antenna (TSA) is improved by varying the dimensions of a corrugated structure present at the edge of the TSA substrate. Experimental results are given that indicate that E-plane radiation patterns can be adjusted by varying the corrugation structure geometry. We also present calculated analyses of the corrugation structure using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.
