Abstract :
Tapered slot antenna tapers were designed using Chebyshev transformer to minimize reflection and maximize power transfer of the antenna. Cubic spline and exponential curves were fit to the designed steps to smooth the steps. Impulse response for the designed tapers were extracted through the MATLAB code from the simulated broadband farfield data in the CST MWS software.
