Abstract :
This paper presents the design of tapered slot antenna with squared cosine profile for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) applications. The proposed antenna is composed of a feed line, a microstrip-slotline transition and a radiating slot by using squared profile. By etching a rectangular slot on the bottom edge of tapered slot antenna, the proposed antenna can achieve a bandwidth from 2.96 GHz-12.07 GHz. The performances of the proposed antenna are demonstrated along with the simulated and measured results.
