K. Kang et al., EQUIVALENT SOURCE ANALYSIS OF CURVED EDGE TAPERED SLOT-LINE ANTENNAS, International journal of infrared and millimeter waves, 16(12), 1995, pp. 2223-2229
An equivalent source model for the analysis of curved edge tapered slo
t-line antenna is developed, which employs effective filamentary curre
nts along the conductor edges of the slot, but forces the electric fie
ld produced by the currents to satisfy the boundary condition on the w
hole conductor surface. This idea is implemented by method of moments
with collocation technique, and applied to analyze a tapered slot-line
antenna with arbitrarily curved edge.
