Abstract :
This paper considers the use of a spherical array of sources producing a large fast-transient electromagnetic wave near the center of a sphere. For comparison, a lens type of implosion impulse radiating antenna (IRA) is included as an appendix. This complements the prolate-spheroidal focusing-reflector type of IRA, which has been already appearing in journal papers.
