Abstract :
In this paper, the design and performance characteristics of a new, compact, wideband, tapered coplanar-strip antenna are presented. This antenna can be utilized for narrowband and wideband applications. The antenna design is based on Chebyshev impedance transformation theory. The design and measured performance characteristics of this antenna are described
