Abstract: A V-band Vivaldi antenna design for beyond-5G base station applications operating within V-band is demonstrated. The device can be used for interfacing with radio-over-fibre links and optoelectronic components through a coplanar waveguide to slotline transition. Simulations show an end-fire radiation with a 3 dB gain bandwidth ranging between 46.9-77.4 GHz combined with the reflection coefficients remaining below-10dB for the same frequency range. A comb structure inspired by optical grating couplers is added providing an increased maximum gain of 12.6 dBi at 68.5 GHz. Measurement results validate the promising characteristics of the planar antenna.
