Dual tapered meander slot antenna for radar applications

A dual tapered meander slot antenna (TMSA) is designed for use as an element in a phased array antenna system for RF and microwave sensors and radar applications. The novel design of dual TMSA element, excited by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed, provides a wide band and high efficiency characteristics with 50 /spl Omega/ input impedance at 10 GHz operating frequency.
