Impulse Radiating Antenna Modeling using Numerical Electromagnetics Code

In this paper, a mesh impulse radiating antenna (IRA) that can be used in space application is modeled and analyzed with numerical electromagnetics code (NEC). The NEC input file was generated in MATLAB environment. A NEC analysis output was validated through comparing with FEKO simulation. The mesh IRA is shown to be capable of radiating an impulse-like waveform through both simulation results.
