Abstract

A phase-only method for the synthesis of planar aperture antennas for a given complex radiation pattern in one plane is reported. The problem is reduced to determining an appropriate aperture phase distribution in the form of a ruled function and solved for apertures with rectangular shape and an arbitrary amplitude distribution and for apertures of arbitrary shape and amplitude distribution. This method can be used for controlling the pattern of phased-array antennas. Results of computer modeling are presented
