Abstract

This paper presents synthesis of conformal arrays enhanced by metamaterial lenses. The synthesis uses a multi-step Quasi-Conformal Transformation Optics technique to compute lens parameters that allow an arbitrary-shaped conformal array to acquire properties of another desirable conformal array. The approach is demonstrated by numerical experiments including a full wave simulation.
