  • Abstract
    Tapered Periodic Surface (TPS) technology is a very useful building block in the design of ultra broadband antennas. Antennas which employ TPS technology exhibit not only very broad bandwidth, but also low side lobe radiation patterns. TPS exhibits two fundamental properties: 1.) Diffraction Control and 2.) Frequency Compensation.
