DIRECT EXPERIMENT ON THE PASSAGE OF ULTRA-WIDEBAND PULSES OF SUBNANOSECOND DURATION IN THE EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE

Abstract

The results of the first direct experiments on the passage of pulses of ultra-wideband radiation of subnanosecond duration in the Earth’s atmosphere at a distance of more than 10 km are presented. In contrast to the calculated work, the preservation of the amplitude-time shape of the pulses in the process of increasing the distance is shown. The establishment of this fact is of decisive importance in the practical application of ultra-wideband pulses in new technological developments.
