Abstract :
A very efficient iterative procedure for the synthesis of a single reflector antenna from far-field data under the assumptions of physical optics (PO) is discussed. A key feature of the approach is that an analytical gradient expression is used to modify the reflector shape in each iteration and a geometrical optics (GO) method is used to provide an initial solution
