Study on V-Shaped Dipole Antenna Array for Pulse Radiation

Time-domain electric field integral equation method is used to obtain the transient current distribution and the far field of V-shaped dipole antenna array in this paper. The time-domain characteristics and the beam steering capability of V-shaped dipole antenna array are studied under new definitions based on energy for time-domain radiation. The beam can be steered into a given direction by properly controlling the time delay of the driving pulses fed to each element.
