The design of new UWB antenna faces some challenges. The antenna should be compact, preferably conformal, low cost for manufacture, and have good electrical performance, such as good matching, directional radiation performance over a wide band, good time response, etc. Keeping these goals in mind a compact and directional antipodal Vivaldi antenna was built. The antenna radiating structure is in the form of two exponentially tapered arms that lie on the opposite sides of the substrate. The antenna operates over the frequency band from 2.7 GHz to more than 12 GHz. It exhibits a directive radiation performance with a peak gain which is between 3.2dBi and 10.2dBi in the specified band. The time domain performance of the antenna shows negligible distortion of the pulse which makes it suitable to use with impulse based UWB radar. The antenna has linear phase response over the entire UWB frequency range and hence
