Abstract :
A method for improving polarization purity of the tapered slot antenna (TSA) is investigated. The conventional TSA antenna and the proposed new design are investigated. Simulation and measurement results show a significant improvement in the cross polarization level of the proposed geometry, within a wide frequency bandwidth.
