Abstract
For the first time, a tapered slot antenna coupled to a metal-oxide-metal (MOM) diode is designed, fabricated, and characterized at an infrared wavelength of 10.6 μm. Polarization ratio was measured to be approximately 6.7:1. The antenna’s radiation pattern shows beamwidth symmetry between the E-plane and the H-plane data, having full width at half-maximum beamwidths of 45 º and 30 º, respectively.
