A Novel L-Shaped Metalens for Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) Antenna Gain Improvement

In this work, a novel metamaterial lens (metalens) is designed and optimized to improve the radiation performance of an antipodal Vivaldi antenna for wideband applications. The metalens is integrated into the antenna substrate, and placed close to the tapered slot in the end-fire direction, allowing...
