A planar Vivaldi array antenna that can achieve four sector radiation patterns in the azimuth plane is presented. Prototypes of the proposed antenna operating within 3.1–10.6 GHz for ultrawideband applications were designed and constructed. Measured and simulated results are used to demonstrate the performance of the antenna. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
