Abstract :
Radiation pattern and gain of tapered slot antenna are measured with 3dB 180° hybrid coupler in order to feed balanced current. The radiation patterns show the radiation from the only radiator and agree with the simulation. The gain is obtained as same as the simulation. This method is effective to know the radiation from balanced radiator.
