In order to expand the applications of the traditional Vivaldi antenna by addressing the low gain of the traditional Vivaldi antenna, this paper combines the phase distribution of the Vivaldi antenna aperture based on the analysis of the transmission characteristics of a dielectric unit by utilizing the advantages of artificial electromagnetic material. A more reasonable method of loading a dielectric lens is proposed and utilized in combination with edge grooving. A comparison of the results shows that the antenna operates in the frequency range of 4 to 16 GHz. The low-frequency boost is approximately 3 dB, and the high-frequency boost is approximately 9.6 dB.
