Design and simulation double Ku-band Vivaldi antenna

Abstract

Due to the tremendous development in the field of wireless communication and its use in several fields, whether military or commercial was proposed. A novel tapered slot Vivaldi antenna is designed and simulated at double band frequency (Ku-band) using computer simulation technology (CST) software 2020. The dimensions of the antenna are 2.3 × 1 × 0.4 mm<sup>3</sup> with a microstrip feed of 0.5 mm. The proposed antenna is improved by cutting a number of circle shapes on the patch layer in different positions. The simulation results are divided into more sections according to the number of circle shapes cutting. The results are good acceptance and make the improved Vivaldi antenna valuable in many future wireless communication applications.

High-gain UWB elliptical and circular slotted antipodal Vivaldi antenna for through wall detection

“…Research on designing UWB antennas for through-wall detection systems is expanding, with the Vivaldi antenna being the preferred choice due to its small size, high gain, wide bandwidth, high directivity, low side lobes, and end-fire radiation [11], [12], making it a suitable solution for such applications. In 1979, Gibson [13] came up with the Vivaldi antenna, named after the famous violin composer Antonio Vivaldi.…”
