An ultra-wideband antenna for pulsed applications
A wideband feed is proposed to support wideband radiation, and a design process is presented for a slotline bowtie hybrid (SBH) antenna based on specified pattern characteristics. Measured results are presented to demonstrate the pattern control of the antenna over its bandwidth. Impulse response plots are used to illustrate the pulse performance of this antenna type. For the antenna discussed here, the bandwidth was measured to be 6 to 1 and actually is expected to be larger.
