In this paper, a wideband Vivaldi phased array with double band-notched performance for radio astronomy is proposed. To address the issues of radio frequency interference from 5 G mobile communication (4.8–5 GHz) and C-band satellite communication (5.9–6.5 GHz) in radio astronomy system, the hairpin ring resonator (HRR), defected ground structure and λ/2 shorted-circuit stub are utilized together to realize the double notched bands with different bandwidth. The resonate mechanism of the proposed HRR is widely investigated, which exhibits independent and controllable resonances. Meanwhile, λ/2 shorted-circuited stub is adopted for the band notched performance. As the current on the stub is induced along the shorted via to the ground, without participating in radiation, thus the notched frequency is not affected by the scan angle. With these novel and dedicated design, the proposed phased array performs double band-notched performance with high skirt selectivity and deep suppression, within the notched band the maximum rejection level is better than 22.7 dB. This is the first work to implement double notched bands in phased array to the authors' best knowledge. Finally, a prototype composed of 8 × 9 elements is fabricated and measured. The measurements agree well with the simulated ones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
