Abstract
The distribution over a cicular aperture in a ground plane that produces the best mean-square approximation to a specified radiation pattern is derived subject to constraints on the mean-square aperture field strength. The result is derived in terms of the functions most natural for a least square fit: the eigenfunctions of a finite (circular) two-dimensional Fourier transform.
