Abstract
An improved design of the longitudinal tapered slot antenna is presented wh ich incorporates a tapered coaxial line balun. This transformer type offers large bandwidth. allows for the direct connection of coaxial sources and r educes the complexity of the printed circuit. Experimental results for an a ntenna prototype are presented.
