Abstract
A novel Vlasov-type antenna based on a circular waveguide with a double bevel-cut and two symmetrical side reflectors is presented. Simulation results for the proposed antenna at the operating frequency of 2.5 GHz, carried out by CST Studio suite 2023, show a higher gain with a wider emission angle if compared to classic Vlasov geometries. A sensitivity analysis in terms of different angle and length of the reflectors and a comparison with other Vlasov-type configurations have been carried out and are here reported. The results confirm the promising performance of the novel proposed Vlasov antenna and pave the way for High-Power Microwave (HPM) applications.
