Antennas for Nonsinusoidal Waves: I. Radiators

Henning F. Harmuth and Shao Ding-Rong

During the last few years numerous applications of nonsinusoidal electromagnetic waves have been discussed in this journal. It is generally accepted that the antennas pose the greatest difficulty. In a series of papers on radiators, sensors, and arrays, we will investigate antennas, both theoretically and experimentally. Sufficient information is provided to permit anybody who is equipped for work with pulses of about 1-ns duration to build simple radiators and sensors.   12 pages.
