Abstract :
We consider the synthesis problem for a conformal array lying on a specified curve, including the choice of the number and positions of the elements. This problem is, in our case, ill-conditioned and requires a careful solution. This has been done by the evaluation of an effective rank of the radiation operator and the use of the QR algorithm with column pivoting.<>
