A comprehensive review of high voltage wideband and ultra-wide band antennas for IEMI applications

Abstract

A comprehensive review paper concerning the geometry, topology, implementation methodology, feeding mechanisms and application domain of wideband and ultrawideband (UWB) antennas for high power applications is presented. Single element antennas, reflector based antennas and array type antennas developed across the globe are taken into account. The antennas considered here are grouped based on their similarity in structure and their performance is compared based on their mode of implementation. This information provides a guidance to the selection of different geometries for various applications especially in the applications pertaining to intentional electromagnetic interference(IEMI). Few antenna models were simulated in CST for the transient response to show their typical transient responses. An exhaustive comparative table is presented with the worldwide designs and some indigenous developments.

Compact dielectric impulse radiating antenna with a flat feed arm structure for low‐frequency gain enhancement

“…Because of its impulse-radiating capability, IRA is suitable for many ultra-wideband (UWB) applications, such as electromagnetic pulse (EMP) simulators, remote sensing, and UWB communications [2][3][4]. For certain application platforms [5][6][7], a more compact IRA may be preferable.…”

Design and Optimization of Discone Antenna for Medical Device Electromagnetic Interference Measurement

“…Measuring instruments that can measure electromagnetic interference, in general, are antennas that have specifications for a wide frequency range (wideband), high gain, compact size, and, where possible, low cost to manufacture [16]. Based on this, the discone antenna has the required specifications because it has a wideband (wide frequency range), compact size, high gain, and omnidirectional property (the ability to capture emission from all directions) needed for this measurement [17], [18].…”
