A Miniaturized Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna for High-Power Design in X-Band
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research M, Vol. 129, 105-110, 2024
Abstract
A compact antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) integrated with circularly shaped loads and some elliptic slits etched in tapered slots is proposed in this paper. First, the elliptic slits etched in two tapered slots are employed for wideband application in X-band. Then, the value of max power capacity increasing from 0.47 MW to 0.82 MW is mainly due to two circularly shaped loads. Moreover, the size of the antenna is decreased to 0.44λmiddle × 0.42λmiddle. The configuration is measured to confirm the simulated results. Based on these, a novel antipodal Vivaldi antenna with compact size is successfully designed and applied in high-power field at X-band.
