A new broadband antenna for transient electromagnetic field measurements

Abstract
A novel broadband antenna based on the resistively loaded V dipole is presented. For a given sensitivity bandwidth compared with the Wu-King dipole. A 30-cm monopole configuration with a 500- Omega commercially available probe as the termination is estimated to have a bandwidth of 20 MHz-10 GHz and sensitivity of 10.5*10/sup -3 /V/(Vm/sup -1/). This antenna can be used to measure electromagnetic pulses and transients with subnanosecond rise times. It can also be used as the receiving antenna in time-domain scattering ranges.
