Abstract
An initial effort is described to develop an antenna synthesis procedure by which the shape of a surface of rotation and its current density are deduced from a given far-field radiation pattern which satisfies the conditions of a characteristic mode. Typical results obtained to date are presented to substantiate the method and to illustrate some antenna shapes. A variety of research topics suggested by present efforts are discussed and suggested for future investigation.
