Abstract :
This paper has discussed matching and radiation characteristics of tapered slot antenna with conductor roof. The physical form has resembled to double ridged horn antenna but the radiation characteristic has been close to conventional TSA. The effect of the roof has come in the radiation pattern modification and increasing the gain as results. It has been remained to study design method of the roof to realize radiation pattern interested and to investigate mutual coupling.
