Simulation and manufacturing of a miniaturized exponential UWB TEM horn antenna for UWB radar applications

This paper presents the parameterization of the structure of a miniaturized exponential UWB TEM horn antenna and its effect on the matching impedance and directivity. In addition, a microstrip balun that feeds the antenna was proposed in order to improve the balance, and the return loss for low freq...
