Abstract
The usual narrowband or resonant techniques, for measuring antenna efficiency are ill-suited for use with ultra-wideband (UWB) or aresonant antennas. This paper develops an extension of the classic "Wheeler (1959) cap" technique that can be applied to UWB antennas. The theory of UWB antenna efficiency is developed, and the techniques of the paper are applied to measure the efficiency of a Time Domain BroadSec UWB antenna
