Vivaldi Antenna for UWB Applications

Available to selected customers under NDA only.

The LID2509 is a linearly polarized Vivaldi antenna covering the frequency range from 3.5 GHz to 9 GHz. Therefore, it is suited to operate on most UWB channels. With a gain around 6 dBi, the LID2509 is a directional antenna and was designed for UWB radar measurements, but can also be used for UWB ranging or any other radio technology operating in its bandwidth. The antenna features landing pads for an edge-mounted SMA connector for the transition to a microstrip line.

The parameters of the antenna were chosen in a way to provide a compromise between antenna size, gain and bandwidth.

This antenna is the recommended UWB antenna for radar applications with the NCJ29D6 customer demo board.
