Antenna system with vivaldi element, slot, signal feed, and strip
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11855345B2) discloses an innovative antenna system comprising multiple Vivaldi antenna elements positioned in different planes. The system includes conductive strips and signal feeds that are strategically placed to optimize performance. The first Vivaldi antenna element features a cutout region and a slot, with the conductive strip running parallel to the slot in a separate plane. Additionally, a non-conductive support structure is utilized to separate the different planes and facilitate the connections between the elements.
Furthermore, the patent details the configuration of the conductive strips, signal feeds, and through holes in the non-conductive supports to ensure efficient electrical connections between the antenna elements. The system also incorporates cutout regions in the Vivaldi antenna elements to enhance performance. By strategically placing the conductive strips and signal feeds in offset planes and utilizing through holes filled with conductive material, the antenna system aims to improve signal reception and transmission capabilities. Overall, the patented antenna system offers a novel design that could potentially enhance the functionality of communication devices in various applications.
