| Popis: | This work presents an analysis of the effects of a hybrid linear-exponential tapered slot on the key properties of both the antipodal and co-planar Vivaldi antennas at low frequencies using parametric analysis and Nonlinear Sequential Programming optimisation. It was observed that the hybrid tapered slot can extend the lower frequency limit of the antipodal Vivaldi antenna however with slight deterioration of the gain and E-plane radiation pattern. On the other hand, the optimisation of the hybrid and conventional tapered slot co-planar Vivaldi antennas converged to antennas with the same performance results. |
