A combination method is utilized to design eagle feed Vivaldi antenna.The antenna structure is discretized into arbitrary number of sections whose characteristic impedances and their corresponding dimensions are evaluated using transmission line theory and finite element method, respectively. The proposed antenna is compared with two classical designs, theoretically and experimentally. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
