Dual Band-Notched Microstrip-Fed Vivaldi Antenna Utilizing Compact EBG Structures

We propose an ultra-wideband (UWB) antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) with high-Q stopband characteristics based on compact electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures. First, an AVA is designed and optimized to operate over an UWB spectrum. Then, two pairs of EBG cells are introduced along the antenna fe...
