A new ultrawide-band (UWB) antenna named the "scissors antenna" has been designed specially for transient ultrawide-band applications. The scissors antenna, which is composed of conducting wires, radiates ultrashort pulses with very low dispersion. The radiation of this antenna has been characterized by a transient measurement method suitable for characterizing UWB antennas with very low dispersion. After a presentation of the scissors antenna, this measurement method is described. The last part of the paper presents a comparison between the radiation characteristics of the scissors antenna obtained by the transient measurements and those obtained by the classical harmonic measurements.Index Terms-Transient measurements, ultrawide-band (UWB) antenna.

We propose a novel ultrawideband (UWB) antenna designed specially for transient UWB radar applications. This work is a part of a new project concerning an optoelectronic UWB radar demonstrator with an array of four antennas. This project required the development of a new UWB antenna: the Valentine antenna. This antenna must be lighter and more compact in H-plane to allow the assembly of the array. This array must have a volume lower than 1 m . This antenna, which is composed of curved metallic strips, radiates ultrashort pulses in the frequency band 300 MHz -3 GHz with very low dispersion, a high gain and a low cross-polarization in the axial direction. The Valentine antenna must support 10 kV of peak voltage. This paper describes the Valentine antenna and its main radiation characteristics.
