“…One of the UWB-based techniques is using an impulse radar [6–8]. The applications utilizing the impulse radar technique can be included near zone sensing radars, such as ground-penetrating radar [9–11], medical imaging [12–15], through-the-wall penetrating radar [16, 17], etc.…”

The pulse radiating characteristic of a wrapped bow-tie antenna (WBA) and wrapped resistively loaded bow-tie antenna (WRLBA) is presented for impulse radar applications in this paper. The numerical analysis of the WRLBA is performed by comparing that of the WBA. The wrapped antennas are realized on a flexible substrate. The antennas are fed by an impedance tapered balun, which has an overall transmission loss of −1.4 dB over the balun length. The characteristics of the resistive loading to the wrapped antenna, such as reflection coefficient, reflected pulse in the time domain, voltage standing wave ratio, and input impedance, are experimentally investigated and compared with simulated results. The fidelity factor of the radiated electric field on the boresight direction for the WBA and WRLBA is calculated as 0.82 and 0.96, respectively. The wireless communication ability is evaluated by the transmission coefficient, group delay, boresight gain, and received waveform. The calculated fidelity factor of the received waveform for the WBA and WRLBA is 0.79 and 0.85, respectively. The average and variations of the group delay of both wrapped antennas are observed to be around 2.5 ns and less than 1.5 ns, respectively.

“…In this regard, the impulse radar characterized by UWB pulse has widely utilized for near zone sensing applications. The applications in the vicinity of the targets can be included for not only medical applications, such as imaging of the breast tumor, [2][3][4][5] imaging of the bleeding area for stroke, [6][7][8] and assessment of bone mineral density, [9][10][11] but also industrial applications such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR), [12][13][14][15] through-wall penetrating radar, 16,17 and foliage-penetrating radar (FPR). 18,19 For near zone sensing applications, the proposed antenna should radiate a short pulse with less distorted waveform to receive a clear echo pulse reflected by the target.…”

This article presents the pulse radiating and imaging performances of a wrapped resistively loaded bow‐tie antenna (WRLBA) which has a reduced aperture size for utilizing near zone sensing applications. The pulse radiating performances of the WRLBA are investigated and evaluated by comparing to those of the nonloaded wrapped bow‐tie antenna (WBA). The calculated fidelity factor and evaluation factor (EF) of the WRLBA on the boresight direction are 0.97 and 0.07, respectively. The monostatic radar experiment has been shown that two copper targets with a radius of 2 cm are reconstructed at 15 and 20 cm, respectively. Based on the evaluation of the pulse radiating performances and imaging experiment, the proposed WRLBA is a suitable candidate for imaging applications in the vicinity of the targets.
