PROJECT TITLE :

Ultra-Wideband Planar Gaussian Tapered Rhombic Antenna for Short Pulse Applications

ABSTRACT:

An ultra-wideband planar rhombic antenna with Gaussian tapered profile is proposed for short pulse applications. Compared to a conventional linear rhombic antenna, the proposed antenna contains a sleek Gaussian tapered edge, which will diminish the reflected pulse signal and therefore will enlarge the bandwidth significantly. The proposed planar Gaussian tapered rhombic antenna was fabricated and its performance each in frequency domain and in time domain was investigated. Sensible agreements between the simulated and therefore the measured results are observed. Each of the simulated and also the measured results show that the proposed antenna is featured by broad bandwidth, low cross polarization levels, and suitability for short pulse applications.
