In this paper, modeling and experimental characterization of coupled Vivaldi antenna elements printed on laminate substrate are proposed for Millimeter-Wave communication and Energy Harvesting. Both Time-Domain and Frequency domain electromagnetic simulations are conducted and compared to broadband measurement accounting for parasitic feeding effects (SMA connectors, wiring connections) also, evaluation of gain and radiation efficiencies. Perspectives for Co-integration of proposed Vivaldi antenna elements with power generation circuit blocks (VCO, Power Amplifier).
