Source Reconstruction in antenna synthesis

This work presents application of the Equivalent Source Reconstruction (ESR) technique for array element positioning. which is useful in antenna synthesis. When it is applied to measured data, fields radiated by equivalent currents shows that conventional formulation of ESR, when applied to measured fields, to some degree allows locating primary radiators. (thus enabling synthesis), and the procedure is illustrated with practical examples that demonstrate the potential of ESR as an aid in synthesis/design.
