Abstract :
A wide bandwidth dual-polarized array antenna composed of tri-plate type tapered slot antennas (T-TSAs) was constructed and tested at X-band. An excellent isolation characteristic was achieved in both ports of the dual polarized array. Other radiation properties such as return loss, radiation pattern and gain had excellent characteristics in both ports. Therefore, the T-TSA element is considered to be a promising element as a wideband dual-polarized array antenna.
