Abstract

Ultra-wide band antennas can be characterized by the time-domain impulse response. This paper introduces an approximate form of the impulse response that can be calculated by applying the method of moments to the Freedholm integral equation of convolution. Numerical results are compared to those obtained using the traditional frequency-domain approach. The validity of the approximate impulse response and the application constraints are also discussed. It is shown that the time-domain approach is faster than the frequency-domain approach while the accuracy is preserved.
