Abstract
A wideband bow-tie antenna has bren designed using the finite-differen ce time-domain (FDTD) method. When positioned at the surface of a biol ogical tissue half-space, the calculated reflections from the antenna ends are 106dB below the exciting pulse. This facilitates detection of local weakly-scattering tissue structures.
