This paper presents the design of a compact and wideband surface wave antenna that exhibits very low profile and can be flush-mounted on a conformal platform. The proposed antenna comprises a tapered grounded ceramic slab, a unidirectional surface wave launcher, and a tapered impedance transition. T...
