Short summary
This paper suggests the design of two ultra-wideband antennas for the application of transient field measurements that are characterized by frequency spectra in the range from a few MHz to several GHz. The motivation for their design is the excitation of high power transient pulses within highly resonant metallic enclosures. The presented measurement and simulation results reveal that the suggested antennas do achieve satisfactory broadband characteristics and ensure high pulse form fidelity.
