Abstract :
Rules of thumb are derived for compressing transfer functions of UWB antennas using a phase-mode/Slepian-mode based model. These are applied to measured 2D UWB radiation patterns of bowtie, log-periodic and Vivaldi antennas. A compression ratio of 5.8 with a maximal error of 10% is achieved.
