Abstract
Tapered slot antennas are a class of traveling wave antenna having promising application due to their wide bandwidth and symmetric radiation patterns. This paper discusses the characteristics of a tapered slot antenna in antipodal configuration and printed with elliptically shaped radiators. Simulation and experimental studies show good radiation and impedance characteristics and its usefulness for pulsed application.
