Abstract :
Because of their potential interest in satellite communications, the problem of synthesizing shaped beams by means of isophoric sparse arrays is dealt with. After briefly recalling some useful recent results, a synthesis strategy is proposed and discussed. Preliminary results, which confirm the interest of the proposed architecture and the effectiveness of the developed tools, are also shown.
