Analysis of the Transient Waveforms Radiated by a Combination of Thin-Wire Antennas-Part II: Simulation Results

In order to improve our knowledge of the physical phenomena involved in the transient radiation of an ultrawideband (UWB) antenna, this series of two papers proposes a modeling tool of antenna geometries based on traveling-wire elements; infinitely conductive and resistive loaded elements are considered. In Part I of this letter, the theoretical aspects have been presented, including an extension of previous modeling. In Part II, detailed parametric studies of antenna radiating responses are performed in the case of two-dimensional (2-D) combinations of thin wires. The simulation results are analyzed to highlight the major physical phenomena associated with the radiation in the far-field region.
