This letter presents a new transverse electromagnetic flared horn antenna for the demanding requirement of an air-coupled impulse ground-penetrating radar. Structure anatomy is performed focusing on achieving good impedance matching throughout the wide frequency band. The design procedure starts with constructing an analytic model to evaluate the preliminary physical dimensions to achieve minimum reflections. Structural fine tunings are then performed for optimization. The antennas are fabricated and tested. Experimental results validate the design effectiveness.
