Özet

In this paper, a compactly designed antipodal Vi-valdi antenna (AVA) surrounded by a 3D-printed PLA cover is proposed to make the antenna compatible with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) applications in the frequency interval of 1.5-4.5 GHz. Compared to the bare antenna, the lower frequency is decreased by 200 MHz, and the gain is increased by 1 dB, utilizing full-wave simulations and optimizations. In these optimizations, PLA boxes of various thicknesses and fill rates are investigated. Furthermore, a reduction in side lobe levels is observed. Based on the results obtained, the antenna was deemed suitable for use in GPR applications.
