Abstract
Provided herein are various enhancements for antenna systems and directed radio frequency energy structures. In one example, an apparatus includes an antenna array comprising a plurality of Vivaldi antenna elements arranged about an axis perpendicular to a baseplate. Feed elements are coupled to each of the Vivaldi antenna elements through the baseplate. First alternating ones of the Vivaldi antenna elements are configured to transmit radio frequency (RF) energy at a first RF band, and second alternating ones of the Vivaldi antenna elements are configured to receive RF energy at a second RF band.
