Abstract

In this paper, a wideband high gain Vivaldi antenna based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons metamaterial for radio astronomy application is proposed. The height of the spoof surface plasmon polaritons structures fits the exponential function, thus the structure is named exponential spoof surface plasmon polaritons (ESSPP) metamaterial. With the exponential heights, the ESSPP metamaterial could correct the phase difference in a wide band, the gain is improved in the wide frequency range from 3 GHz to 9 GHz, and the proposed antenna exhibits stable radiation patterns with an average gain of 10.6 dBi.
