Van Atta’s array, retrodirective radiation of pulse signal, tapered slot antennaAbstract
The possibility of retrodirective radiation of a wideband pulse signal by Van Atta’s array is verified experimentally. The effect of both symmetric and asymmetric array elements interconnections is shown as regards the time form of the reradiated pulse.References
