Time domain studies of ultra wideband monopole: Theoretical study to alleviate ambiguities

Monocycle pulses are commonly used to analyze ultra wideband (UWB) antennas in time domain. But no standard guideline is available to estimate its accurate pulsewidth. In this paper, we propose a new technique and examine the same for a UWB monopole antenna. This approach should alleviate present lacunae in time domain analysis and help one to obtain accurate characteristics theoretically.
