Two structures of antennas: linear tapered slot antenna (LTSA) and based on LTSA corrugated linearly tapered slot antenna (CLTSA) are presented. The patterns of the mentioned antennas in the E and H planes for the polar form are presented. The operating frequency of the designed antennas is 1...4 GHz. The frequency dependence of the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) on the developed corrugated linearly tapered slot antenna is measured by NI PXIe-5630 vector network analyzer. The comparison of the measured values and simulated values in FEKO environment are presented.
