Abstract :
Previously, the design, fabrication, and testing of a pulser with a parabolic reflector antenna, known as a prototype impulse-radiating antenna (IRA), had been presented in the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science in 1997. The radiating system has now been more fully characterized with additional measurements and computations of near-field, intermediate, and far fields on bore sight
