Investigation on the phase center of ultra wideband discone antennas

We consider discone antennas for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications. Knowledge of the phase center location of UWB antennas is important for pulse transmission/reception, as the movement of the phase center will distort the signal. We introduce a method for phase center computation which is almost analytical and does not require optimization. This method is applied for investigating the UWB phase center location of discone antennas.
