Abstract
The desire to increase the energy of the pulses by which the impact excitation of ultrawideband antennas is carried out prompts some authors of equipment (radars) to change the shape of these pulses. In particular, pulses are made bipolar. This article explores the issue of optimizing the shift of the second component of the excitation pulse. Such a shift allows obtaining the maximum level of the spectrum at the frequency of interest, determined by the transmitter-receiver path.
