Abstract :
An approximate analysis of a TEM horn antenna in the receiving mode is carried out, by modeling the horn as an array of V dipoles. The analysis is performed directly in the time domain without the need for transforming the solution from the frequency domain into the time domain. The received signal at the output terminals of the TEM horn due to an arbitrary incident pulsed plane-wave is determined. It is shown that the received signal due to a pulse excitation is in good agreement with the measured response.
