Abstract :
A model for calculation of waveform and peak power pattern of Van Atta´s array of tapered slot antennas (TSA) which reradiates wideband video-pulse signal has been presented. An influence of mutual coupling of elements of Van Atta´s array on pattern has been shown. An effect of different types of polarities of connecting wires on a wave form of reradiated signal has been investigated.
