Formula & Theory

Width ≈ λ(low)/2, Length ≈ λ(low), Bandwidth Ratio = f(high)/f(low)

This formula is used to calculate antenna parameters for vivaldi antenna calculator.

Overview

Vivaldi Antenna Calculator supports ultra wideband antennas planning with a practical calculation based on the displayed inputs.

Input Guide

Enter Low Frequency, High Frequency exactly in the units shown by this vivaldi antenna. Check the operating band, unit prefix, and decimal position before calculating; these are the inputs used by the formula.

  • Low Frequency — use GHz.
  • High Frequency — use GHz.

Output Guide

The results describe the calculated vivaldi antenna values for the inputs you entered. Check each value against the available space, selected components, feed system, and operating conditions before making a final design decision.

How This Calculator Works

The Vivaldi Antenna uses Width ≈ λ(low)/2, Length ≈ λ(low), Bandwidth Ratio = f(high)/f(low). Supply Low Frequency (GHz), High Frequency (GHz) in the displayed units, then use the calculated values as the first engineering target for this ultra wideband antennas design or analysis.

Design Notes

Installed performance can vary with frequency, losses, tolerances, environment, and system configuration.

Build and Tuning Notes

Use the result as a starting point, then validate the completed system with measurement or simulation.
