Abstract
The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method has been used to analyze a number of antennas for pulse radiation. In complexity, these antennas range from simple metallic monopoles to more complicated resistively loaded structures such as the bow-tie and TEM horn [1]–[10]. Almost all of these analyses have been for antennas in the transmitting mode, where the internal reflections and pulse distortion on radiation were of concern, see Figure 1(a). There has been very little discussion of these antennas in the receiving mode, see Figure 1(b).
