Abstract :
A new wide band antenna radiating short pulses has been designed at CELAR (Technical Center for Armament Electronics) and IRCOM (Research Institute of Microwave and Optical Communication). Different theoretical results (received voltage waveforms in different directions, frequency gain) are shown, some are compared to experimental measurements. An experimental set-up is described for ultra-wide band (UWB) impulse scattering responses from different canonical targets
