Symmetric Vlasov-type antenna for High Power Microwave applications

We present a novel Vlasov-type antenna operating at
$2.5$
GHz and composed of a circular waveguide with a double bevel-cut. Simulation results show that the proposed antenna is capable of providing a wider emission angle if compared to standard Vlasov configurations, while still maintaining an adequate gain level. For this reason, it could be of interest for those High-Power Microwave (HPM) applications in which a larger area need to be covered by the EM field.
