Variable height/thickness ratio tapered slot antenna for matching impedance and power handling

摘要

A Variable Height/Thickness Ratio Tapered Slot Antenna For Matching Impedance and Power Handling (NC#98542). The apparatus includes a tapered slot antenna having a gap height and a thickness. The tapered slot antenna includes a first antenna element comprising conductive material, configured to receive and transmit RF signals and a second antenna element comprising conductive material, operatively coupled to said first antenna element, configured to receive and transmit RF signals. A correlation between said gap height and said thickness can be represented by an equation.
