Reduced Height, Wide Bandwidth Array of Doubly Mirrored Balanced Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna with Magnetic Slot
Daniel H. Schaubert, Ph.D.
A number of modifications to the geometry of a conventional Balanced Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna (cBAVA) were made to improve performance. This design also incorporates modular construction to improve manufacturability and facilitate replacement of defective portions of the phased array.
- Reduced-height
- More than octave bandwidth
- Wide-scan angle
- Modular construction
- Doubly-mirrored BAVA with magnetic slots (DmBAVA-MAS), and
- Both single and dual polarized array implementations are possible
- Military and civilian markets
- Internet access in the sky
- Wide-scan, multi-beam, interlink-satellites
- Ad-hoc networking for high quality voice communications
- High speed, real-time mobile-multimedia applications
- Meteorological radar
- Microwave and mmWave imaging systems
