Abstract :
Active reflective coefficient is a kernel design parameter in the process of ultra wideband antenna research and optimization. Mutual coupling effect, wideband and wide angle scan characters according to active reflective coefficient are analyzed in the step-constant tapered slot antenna design and fabrication for RF integrated. Measured results demonstrate that proposed antenna can achieve a bandwidth of 6-18GHz with VSWR <; 2 and possesses 120° half-power beam width.
