Transient Field Calculation of Aperture Antennas

Page 929.

Abstract:

The method of transient field calculation for large aperture antennas is proposed. It is shown that in the time domain, the calculation of the transient field is relatively simple for all points in the half-space in front of the aperture. The basic properties of the transient field are discussed.
