Vivaldi Antenna

Application ID: 12093


A tapered slot antenna, also known as a Vivaldi antenna, is useful for wide band applications. Here, an exponential function is used for the taper profile. The objective of this model is to compute the far-field pattern and to compute the impedance of the structure. Good matching is observed over a wide frequency band.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
