Abstract:
In this work, an antipodal Vivaldi antenna optimized with different metalenses for wideband applications is designed. This light-weighted antenna is wideband and exhibits good gain in the whole bandwidth. The employment of metalenses with variable metamaterials dimensions allows to increase maximum gain of about ΔG = 2 dB in the frequency band f = 7 – 10 GHz, without reducing the working bandwidth of the antenna. Prototypes have been fabricated and characterized, showing good agreements with simulations.
