Abstract
A method is provided for designing an ultra-wide band conical antenna having a bulb shape with a conical feed point having a predetermined input feed resistance. The method includes: choosing a charge distribution cone angle, ψ, for the predetermined input feed resistance; choosing the length of the charge distribution, κ; determining a desired resistance, capacitance and a Q-factor via a quasistatic antenna design algorithm based on ψ and κ; and selecting an ultra-wide band conical antenna design having a bulb shape with a conical feed point, from among the set of ultra-wide band conical antenna designs having a bulb shape with a conical feed point, that produces the desired resistance, capacitance and Q-factor.
