Tapered Slot Antenna

A Tapered Slot Antenna is a type of antenna that uses a gradually widening (tapered) slot cut into a metal surface to radiate radio waves. The shape directs the energy efficiently, allowing for better signal focus and coverage. It is often used in radar, communication systems, and broadcasting because it provides a wide bandwidth, good directional control, and is relatively easy to manufacture. Essentially, it’s a specialized metal cut that, when energized with radio signals, acts as a highly effective antenna for transmitting and receiving wireless signals.
