Abstract: In this paper, a novel antenna based on the radiation principle of Valentine antenna is designed to radiate high-power short pulse with a 610 kV top voltage and an FFT spectrum of 0.2-2 GHz. The coaxial-to-parallel-strip balun filled with transformer oil is deployed to feed the antenna with a 50 Ω coaxial waveguide. The dielectric strength and radiation property are optimized by the dielectric material and topology structure of the antenna. Simulation result shows that the antenna has a low reflection, ultra wideband, great gain and high dielectric strength.-
