Abstract
This paper presents a dual-band 1 × 4 antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) array with high gain to operate over a dual-frequency band that covers the 5G frequency spectrum. The gain is enhanced by employing a dielectric lens (DL). The AVA array consists of four radiating patch elements, corrugations, DL, and array feeding network on the top side. The bottom side contains four radiating patches which are the mirror images of top radiating patches. The designed AVA contains 1 × 4 array antenna elements with a DL that is operating in the ranges of 24.59–24.98 and 27.06–29 GHz. The dimensions of the designed antenna are 97.2 mm × 71.2 mm × 0.8 mm. For the improvement in gain and impedance matching at the dual-band frequency, corrugation and feeding network techniques are used. The gain obtained is about 8–12 dBi. AVA array is tested after fabrication and the measured results are reliable with the simulation results.
