Characterization of short pulse propagation using Euclid distance

The characterization of short pulse signals transmission along the microstrip line and in the free space using the signal space method and Euclid distance is presented. The short pulse signals in the microstrip line and along the main direction of the antipodal Vivaldi antenna are obtained and partly validated with measured results. The variation of fidelity and Euclid distance with the transmission distance is analyzed and portrayed. This analysis provides more insight into the propagation of short pulse along the microstrip line and in free space and thus is fundamental for the analysis and design of the microstrip line networks and pulse antennas.
