Abstract :
An improved design of the longitudinal tapered slot antenna is presented which incorporates a tapered coaxial line balun. This transformer type offers large bandwidth, allows for the direct connection of coaxial sources and reduces the complexity of the printed circuit. Experimental results for an antenna prototype are presented
