Antennas for Nonsinusoidal Waves. I. Radiators

During the last years numerous applications of nonsinusoidal electromagnetic waves have been discussed in this TRANSACTIONS. The next step is the implementation of these applications. It is generally accepted that the antennas pose the greatest diMculty. In a series of papers on radiators, sensors, and arrays, we will investigate antennas, both theoretically and experimentally. Sufficient information is provided to permit anybody who is equiped for work with pulses of about I-ns duration to build simple radiators and sensors.
