1. A tapered slot antenna, comprising:
an upper blade including a proximal lock end, an upper distal end, a tapered bottom edge, an upper left side and an upper right side;
a lower blade including a proximal key end, a lower distal end, a tapered top edge, a lower left side and a lower right side; and
the proximal lock end configured for selective attachment within the proximal key end thereby forming a fixed feed gap between the tapered bottom edge and the tapered top edge.
