This paper presents an Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna (AVA) design, focusing on its constructional aspects. The main features analysed are the connector attachment structure and introduction of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) part that supports antenna laminate. Issues related to dielectric penetration by milling tools also addressed. proposed AVA was manufactured through low-cost prototyping process tested, achieving operational bandwidth from 5 18 GHz for reflection coefficient less than −10...
This paper presents the design of a compact Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna (AVA) with good performance for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The miniaturized AVA - 40 × 0.8 mm, its balanced feed structure and mechanical ground support are described in detail. simulated results show that proposed covers bandwidth ranging from 4.73 to more than 22 GHz peak gain above 5 dBi highest frequencies. A prototype was built return loss measured. designed antenna is utilized direction finding (DF) system...
