Abstract
This text proposes a Vivaldi structure array antenna, using a power divider structure. The composition includes an antenna array with four antennas, suitable for a wideband array structure antenna in the 100 GHz frequency band. The goal is to address the challenges faced by monolithic systems in modern wireless communications, particularly the issue of the inapplicability of antennas on silicon substrates. The Vivaldi antenna was chosen for its wide bandwidth, high efficiency, and stable radiation pattern. It combines the characteristics of a wide scanning angle and ultra-wide bandwidth. Through integration with CMOS technology, the developed antenna achieved a bandwidth of 85.47–102.40 GHz. The peak gain reached −4 dBi, corresponding to a bandwidth of 17.7%. And the antenna volume was only 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm, demonstrating its immense potential in high-frequency wireless applications.
