Abstract :
A method of inferring microwave antenna radiation patterns over wide bandwidths from a series of subnanosecond pulse measurements is described. Monochromatic patterns can be inferred from the time-domain measurements with simple apparatus. Results are presented which show that the method is inherently insensitive to errors caused by reflections from the environment.
