Time-domain antenna characterizations

A set of time-domain characterizations that can efficiently describe wireband antennas is proposed. The experimentally measured responses of transverse electromagnetic horn antennas are used to evaluate the utility of these characterizations. Comparisons are made between the antennas' frequency-domain response and their time-domain characterizations. The comparisons show that the time-domain characterizations can provide significant insight into an antenna's behavior as well as providing a means to accurately compare two or more different antennas.<
