Ll. Porras et Ag. Pino, SYNTHESIS OF ARRAY FEEDS FOR OPTIMUM ILLUMINATION OF REFLECTOR ANTENNAS AND LOW SPILLOVER, Microwave and optical technology letters, 15(5), 1997, pp. 334-338
A novel synthesis technique for reflector-array feeds is presented. It
consists of a quadratic programming algorithm for global optimization
with constraints that are used to control the spillover radiation of
the antenna. The method is capable of compensating for feed-phase aber
rations and surface distortions, and also provides a prescribed apertu
re amplitude distribution with constant phase, which is useful to cont
rol side-lobe levels. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
