Abstract

A two antenna array is proposed for generating circular polarization for an ultra-wideband system. It consists of two orthogonal antipodal vivaldi antennas and a feed network which provides the appropriate phase and amplitude over the band of interest. The proposed structure is low cost and easy to manufacture, offering an axial-ratio bandwidth of 74%.
