Abstract
In this paper an array based on an Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna (AVA) is presented. Two different types of arrays have been studied in order to obtain a small configuration with reduced mutual coupling. The first is 1×8 elements in the H-plane and the second is 8×1 elements with planar configuration. The antenna arrays are optimized to have a compact and small size, improved gain and reduced mutual coupling.
