摘要
In this article, a new topology of antenna for multi-band application is proposed, designed, and characterized. This one is based on an array of two antipodal Vivaldi antennas diametrically placed and fed through a microstrip to coplanar strip (CPS) transition, which generates an odd-order coupling at the input of the elements. The designed antenna was built on a low-cost substrate (FR-4), with compatible operation at 1.85-2.00, 2.20-2.85, 3.35-3.81, and 5.00-6.9GHz (PCS, Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX, TD-SCDMA, and ISM). The measurements, on a fabricated prototype, and the simulations demonstrate the operability and functionality, with satisfactory performance, of the proposed antenna topology.
