Abstract :
An antipodal linearly tapered slot antenna for Ku band applications with reduced mutual coupling is presented. Several slots are cut on the radiation arms and between radiation elements to segregate the coupling currents. With this approach, the mutual coupling levels between antenna elements are reduced lower than -31 dB within 13.2-16 GHz.
