The Design of a Dual Polarized Vivaldi Array

In this article, the design of a dual polarized Vivaldi antenna array is described. The Vivaldi elements are fed by broadband microstrip-to-slotline baluns. A 2:1 bandwidth (3.4 to 7 GHz) was achieved for VSWR, gain and cross-polarization isolation. Th...
The design for the Vivaldi antenna is motivated by the need for a broadband measurement antenna for an antenna test range (ATR). The ATR is capable of a dual axis rotation to create 3-D plots and to calculate the total radiated power (TRP). 1 The TRP calculation involves the...
