We previously reported a 3D printed ultra-wide band (UWB) Balanced Antipodal Vivaldi Array (BAVA) with 104 linearly polarized antennas on a hemisphere. In this work, we explore how this concept can be applied to a tactically sized array conformal to a relevant platform. Preliminary measurements of a 732 linearly polarized prototype portray element level gain and impedance consistent with an infini...Show More
