Abstract
A number of applications require radiation of a short pulse of electromagnetic energy out to large distances. These applications include target discrimination in a cluttered environment (e.g., looking over the ocean), aircraft identification by taking a “FDR” of its major scattering centers, and target location through foliage. The Impulse Radiating Antenna (IRA) has generated widespread interest for its ability to radiate a broadband pulse. The purpose of this paper is to summarize recent work on Impulse Radiating Antennas.
