Abstract

The paper describes the application of the “equivalent charge distribution method” for designing the geometry of a special type of dipole antenna used for the faithful reproduction of electromagnetic pulse type waveforms. Using this method, the design equation of the surfaces of an asymptotic conical dipole antenna (ACD) has been derived. The surface of the asymptotic conical dipole antenna, obtained by this method, is compared with those computed by the method of Baum (1969). The response of an ACD antenna, fabricated using design data computed from the design equations derived in the paper, is measured and presented
