E. Guillanton et al., A NEW DESIGN TAPERED SLOT ANTENNA FOR ULTRA-WIDE-BAND APPLICATIONS, Microwave and optical technology letters (Print), 19(4), 1998, pp. 286-289
This paper describes the design and the high performance of a new bala
nced antipodal Vivaldi antenna for ultra-wideband applications. The re
turn loss, radiation pattern, antenna gain, and level of cross polariz
ation of this antenna are presented for both simulated and experimenta
l results. The antenna is demonstrated to have greater than decade (im
pedance within 10 dB over 1.3-20 GHz) and low cross polarization (< -1
7 dB in the broadside direction) over the band. (C) 1998 John Wiley &
