Summary:A type of antipodal Vivaldi antenna is designed in this paper, which can be used for pulse radiation in UWB communication. Vivaldi antenna is a special tapered slot antenna with planar structure and is easy to be integrated with transmitting elements and receiving elements to form a compact structure. The antenna designed has good performance in the band 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz, which is assigned to Ultra Wide Band (UWB) wireless communication by FCC. The antenna proposed can radiate or receive UWB pulses with little distortion and a good directivity and a high efficiency.
