JOLT: A Highly Directive, Very Intensive, Impulse-Like Radiator

Abstract

Ultra-wideband (UWB) systems that radiate very high-level transient waveforms and exhibit operating bandwidths of over two decades are now in demand for a number of applications Such systems are known to radiate impulse-like waveforms with risetimes around 100 picoseconds (ps) and peak electric field values of 10s of kV/m. Such waveforms, if properly radiated will exhibit an operating spectrum of over two decades, making them ideal for applications such as concealed object detection, countermine, transient radar, and communications
