Dv. Giri et al., Intermediate and far fields of a reflector antenna energized by a hydrogenspark-cap switched pulser, IEEE PLAS S, 28(5), 2000, pp. 1631-1636
Previously the design, fabrication, and testing of a pulsar with a paraboli
c reflector antenna, known as a prototype impulse-radiating antenna (IRA),
had been presented in the IEEE TRANSACTION ON PLASMA SCIENCE in 1997, The r
adiating system has now been more fully characterized with additional measu
rements and computations of near-field, intermediate, and far fields on bor
e sight.
