Abstract
Elliott and Stern´s (1990) method for synthesising shaped patterns using a circular or elliptical planar aperture or array with a complex excitation distribution is generalised to allow the synthesis of footprints of arbitrary shape. The use of complex excitations allows a given footprint to be synthesised using a smaller array than with real excitations. The procedure is illustrated by synthesising a square footprint using an array with a rectangular grid
