An SBH antenna with a pulse type main beam

The slotted/bow-tie hybrid antenna (SBH) has been developed and widely produced by the Ohio State University-ElectroScience Lab for many years. As an ultra wideband horn, the SBH antenna maintains a very stable pattern with frequency. This makes the SBH very useful for different applications. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the geometrical parameters of the SBH antenna affect its beam shape. Thus advantages can be enjoyed by obtaining SBH patterns that are able to do more than what regular ones can do.
