摘要
This paper analyzes broadband antennas, with a special focus on Vivaldi antennas, for their suitability for through-wall radar applications. It assesses various antenna designs, emphasizing high gain, wide impedance bandwidth, and effective wall penetration capabilities. Vivaldi antennas are superior due to their broad bandwidth, high gain, and directional radiation patterns. This study further explores structural optimizations, feeding techniques, and performance enhancement strategies to refine Vivaldi antenna designs for through-wall radar systems. Through a comparative analysis and technical evaluation, this paper highlights Vivaldi antennas' potential for improving through-wall radar systems' imaging and sensing capabilities. This presents a pathway for future ultra-wideband advancements.
