| Popis: | In this paper, we propose an all-metal Vivaldi array antenna with dual-slant polarization for high-power jammer systems. The single Vivaldi element of the proposed array consists of radiating flares and an inner cavity to achieve high directivity and wide-frequency band impedance-matching characteristics. We expanded the proposed Vivaldi element to a 4 × 4 array antenna with dual-slant polarization considering the occurrence of grating lobes. The fabricated array antenna produced measured active voltage standing wave ratios below 2.74:1 (Port 1) and 2.85:1 (Port 6) in the frequency range of 2.5–5.5 GHz for all steering angles. In addition, the measured array gain is above 9.5 dBi in the frequency range from 2 GHz to 6 GHz. These results confirm that the proposed array antenna consisting of metallic components for high durability is suitable for application to high-power jammers. |
