Abstract :
Time-domain measurements are shown to be feasible even within narrow-bandwidth antennas and can be used to separate the properties of resonant slots from the effects of the edges of the ground plane around them. A time-domain test range that alloys radiation patterns to be measured as if in an infinite ground plane is highlighted. Mutual coupling results obtainable from time-domain measurement of the coupled signal between two slots are noted.<>
