Abstract

See full text

Vivaldi tapered slot and Vivaldi horn antennas that feature or include fractal plasmonic surfaces (“FPS”) are described. Vivaldi slot antennas are described which include a conductive surface defining a tapered slot, with the conductive surface including a plurality of fractal resonators which form or constitute a fractal plasmonic surface (FPS). In some embodiments the fractal resonators can be defined by slots. In some embodiments the fractal resonators can include self-complementary features. In exemplary embodiments, two Vivaldi horn antennas may be used for a Vivaldi horn antenna. The two Vivaldi FPS antennas can be arranged in a crossed or cross configuration such that the two antennas are essentially perpendicular to one another and are therefore able to receive and transmit two orthogonal polarizations of radiation. The two antennas can be fed by separate respective feed lines. The two antennas can be mounted inside of a horn or casing.
