Increasing Prompt Response from Impulse Radiating Antenna by Aperture Shaping

Abstract

In order to improve the prompt response from an impulse radiating antenna (IRA) a number of studies have suggested controlling the spatial distribution of the aperture fields by changing the feed and angle. Other work has suggested that proper shaping of the aperture can further enhance the radiated signal for a given feed structure.
