Abstract :
A bent antipodal Vivaldi antenna with a -6 dB bandwidth from 150 MHz is presented. The whole antenna is realized on a 600 × 600 mm2 silicone substrate. In this paper we describe the design, the realization and the performances of this antenna. This one is easy to make and does not require matching network or balun.
