Abstract

Broadband antennas are vitally important for various applications ranging from TV broadcasting to carrier-free ground-probing radars. We propose a microwave broadband antenna array (BAA), which may be realised using microstrip planar horns — flared end-fire radiating slot lines, known as Vivaldi-type antennas.
