Abstract
Resistively loaded bowtie antennas built with discrete resistors have been shown to be a cost effective alternative to resistively graded sheets. Resistors of appropriate values and sizes are commonly available and the additional construction costs in comparison to an unloaded bowtie antenna are minimal.
