On the System Modeling of Antennas

Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 21, 69-85, 2010
Abstract
With the emergence of UWB systems and, in particular, the pulsed modulations, the modeling of antennas as Linear Time Invariant (LTI) systems has been studied in the last years extensively. This approach offers the advantage of modeling the antennas in frequency domain as well as in time domain. Further, the performance in terms of dispersion is taken into account implicitly in the modeling. This paper presents and compares methods in order to model antennas as LTI systems. The models are analyzed and discussed: physical interpretations are specified; differences between the models are highlighted; alternatives are proposed; advantages and drawbacks of approaches are emphasized.
