Abstract :
This paper proposes a model of the time domain coupling for impulse-radiating arrays. Expressions for the time domain (TD) effective height and effective array factor are retrieved, and a final investigation on coupling echoes and their distorting effect on the main signal has permitted us to derive conditions to avoid coupling, even in configurations with very small inter-element distance.
