Abstract

We have proposed a new configuration of Tapered Slot Antenna (TSA) with an improved radiation pattern. The new design has a tapered section expressed by the Fermi-Dirac distribution function. At 60 GHz, the H-plane side lobe level of the antenna is 5-dB lower than that of conventional TSA's such as Linearly Tapered Slot Antennas. We also present a new technique for reducing the width of a TSA without degradation of radiation pattern.
