Abstract
A new angular antenna called the V-conical antenna was investigated. The characteristics of the antenna are frequency-independent, and the electromagnetic fields are pure spherical waves (transverse electromagnetic mode) even in the near region. The theoretical analysis makes use of conformal mapping. Closed-form solutions for the fields, currents, and characteristic parameters are obtained. The formulas are simple and precise. An experimental study of the antenna was conducted under pulse excitation. The shape of the measured electric-field pulses is the same as that of the source pulse from a picosecond pulse generator. The measured field patterns are very close to those predicted by the theory. Such a structure with a tapered resistive termination is an ideal directional pulse antenna or electromagnetic pulse simulatorKeywords
