Abstract

Features and results of study of several variants of impulse antennas intended to optimize design of a feeder and irradiating elements, choose a high-voltage dielectric, and provide an antenna operation in condition of polygon tests are considered. An ultra-short pulse radiator with electrodynamic potential W = 1.2 MV based on impulse reflector antenna (IRA) is described.
