Abstract

A broadband receiving antenna was realized using a resistively loaded thin-film V-monopole and a 500-Ω oscilloscope probe. The pulse-receiving performance of the antenna was evaluated in a time-domain antenna range, for various directions of the incident pulse. The antenna is capable of receiving a 520 ps electromagnetic pulse, incident within 45° from the boresite direction, with good fidelity. The antenna was also tested in a transverse electromagnetic cell in the time and frequency domains. The frequency-domain receiving transfer function of the antenna was found to be within -57±3 dB in the 22 MHZ to 1.1 GHz frequency range
