Abstract
A transient quasi-analytic method is improved to analyze the offset reflector for impulse radiating antenna (IRA) applications. Physical optic (PO) approximation and analytic time transform (ATT) are utilized to investigate the time domain (TD) radiating characteristics of the offset reflector. With the appropriate coordinate transformation, the TD far-field integral problem can be simplified to one dimensional angular integral which is independent of the reflector's size. In addition, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of impulse responses is compared to the direct frequency domain result, and good agreement is obtained.
