Abstract :
The paper considers a transition (balun) from coplanar waveguide (CPW) to coplanar stripline (CPS) which is nonresonant and suitable for feeding UWB antennas such as tapered slot antennas (Vivaldi antennas in particular), bow-tie antennas and other. Some numerical and experimental results are presented that show performance of the transition alone and as a feeder for a Vivaldi antenna.
