The expansion of wireless technologies poses various requirements such as stable radiation characteristics in a wide frequency range. This letter presents an exponential antipodal Vivaldi antenna with a dielectric lens replacing part of the substrate in antenna aperture, with dimensions of 76 × 130 mm 2 . The shape of the lens also follows exponential structure in its inner (where lens meets the antenna substrate) and outer edges. Using a dielectric with higher constant in the proposed antenna provides 1 dB improvement in antenna gain and 24% of 3-dB beamwidth reduction.
