Abstract
The segmented analysis method of a finite planar ridged tapered slot antenna (RTSA) array is presented to develop a wideband phased array with a triangular lattice. The RTSA array is segmented into two‐parts with a feeder and the arrays of tapered slot antenna (TSA) and these scattering parameters are analyzed respectively. This proposed method gives the merit of a great reduction of computational cost. To verify the advantage of this method, we build the numerical model of only one feeder and dual polarized arrays of TSA with 10 × 12 elements. The measured results of the fabricated array meet the design goals of 3:1 bandwidth, scan volume of ±45°, active VSWR (AVSWR) below 3:1. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
