In this work a novel design of an ultra-wideband and highly directive Vivaldi photoconductive antenna (PCA) is reported for the first time for the THz sensing and imaging applications. The optical-to-THz conversion efficiency for the enhanced directivity of the reported PCA is enhanced by adding a hemispherical silicon-based lens with the PCA gold electrode and quartz substrate (Epsilon r = 3.78, tan delta = 0.0001). The optimization of the antenna design parameters is performed in CST MWS for the frequency range of 1-6 THz. The design antenna has UWB -10 dB impedance and 3-dB AR bandwidths of 6 THz, maximum directivity of 10 dBi and maximum total radiation efficiency of > 40%.

Tapered finline or slotline array has used in Vivaldi antenna design to produce Ultra-wideband (UWB). This paper focuses to design and analysis the structural of tapered finline in order to achieved wideband in rectangular waveguide power combiner at frequency 0.5 GHz to 6 GHz. There are three main parameters are studying in this paper which are of length of radiation region exponential coefficient at curves of radiation and exponential coefficient at curves of directivity. The design of tapered finline in power combiner is simulated using CST Microwave Studio Software. The simulation process is based on the input return loss at port 1 (S11), input return loss at port 2 (S22), isolation (S21) and insertion loss (S12). By studying the effect of the parameter on the design structure, it can be ensure that the tapered finline structures are suitable in wideband design.
