摘要
The performance of a simple antenna, the open-ended parallel-plate waveguide, is optimized for pulse radiation by including a section of waveguide with tapered resistive loading. The novelty of the optimization is that the resistive loading is not only used in the traditional sense to reduce internal reflections, but the frequency dispersion inherent in the loading is also used to compensate for the distortion of the pulse on radiation from the open end. The analysis and optimization are performed using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique. The approach introduced here for optimizing this simple radiator should be applicable to more complex, practical antennas.
