Abstract:This paper presents a novel two‐element partially dielectric loaded planar Vivaldi antenna array for ultra‐wideband applications. This array is capable of operating between 380 MHz and 3 GHz and is designed on a 1.6‐mm thick low‐cost FR4 substrate with total size of 25 × 330 × 430 mm3. Innovative approaches to various gain enhancement techniques such as partial dielectric loading, corrugations, and U‐shaped back reflector used for planar Vivaldi antennas, are collectively employed in this design. Various eleme… Show more
