Abstract
A pattern synthesis technique for a conformal array antenna on a cylinder is presented using the method of alternate projections. Both the sidelobe region and the shape of the main beam are controlled. The method includes the effect of the mutual coupling in the synthesis. It is shown that if mutual coupling is neglected, then poor results are obtained, especially in the shaped beam region
