Vivaldi Broadband Antennas (VC)

CO-PLANAR BROADBAND ENDFIRE ANTENNAS

Vivaldi Broadband Antennas (VC)

 

The VC Series Vivaldi Antennas are co-planar broadband endfire antennas engineered for continuous, multi-octave operation across a wide frequency range spanning from 700 MHz up to 10 GHz (with extended options reaching higher microwave bands).

Constructed using precision-machined solid sheet metal or metallized high-frequency dielectric PCB substrates with exponentially flared slotline tapers, Vivaldi antennas provide exceptional scalability, versatile mounting options, and cost-effective ultra-wideband performance for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), wideband signal reception, and microwave RF testing.

*Custom frequency tuning, low-dielectric PCB substrates (Rogers/Teflon), and multi-element endfire array configurations are available upon request.
