In this article the reflection coefficient of a tapered microstrip line radiating in an infinite parallel‐plate conducting waveguide is calculated. The reflection coefficient at the feed line is evaluated by using the aperture admittance of the horn and the scattering matrix of the continuous taper. The theoretical behavior of the aperture admittance is shown and the reflection coefficient of a microstrip horn radiating in the parallel‐plate region of a bootlace lens is measured in order to verify the model. © 1993 John Wiley & sons, Inc.
