A Planar E Shaped Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna with Elliptical Slots for GPR Application
In this paper, a planar E shaped Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna (AVA) is projected. The antenna is designed by introducing elliptical slots in the conformist AVA. The electrical dimension of AVA is (0.5×0.3×0.0015) λ and the impedance bandwidth is from 0.6–6GHz. The fractional spectrum coverage of AVA is 163.6%. So, the proposed AVA has ultra-wide bandwidth. The peak gain achieved by AVA is 8.6 dB. The antenna offers stable unidirectional radiation pattern throughout the spectrum coverage. The peak radiation efficiency attained is 98%. The proposed antenna is applicable in ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems.
