The antenna pattern synthesis problem is of the utmost importance in almost every kind of
antenna applications. Therefore, a very large number of contributions have appeared on this …

Stringent requirements on reflector antenna performances in modern applications such as
direct broadcast satellite (DBS) communications, radar systems, and radio astronomy have …

The fine art of synthesizing, analyzing, and designing reflector antennas of many various
geometries did not really advance until the days of World War II, when numerous radar …

The theory and design of a reconfigurable mesh reflector antenna is described with
particular reference to satellite applications. As an example, it is shown that antenna pattern …

Communication satellites have evolved from a radio relay in space to encompass other
applications such as processing and meteorology. The demand for high capacity …

The evolution of satellite antennas over the past quarter of a century is presented. Five major
areas of advances in communications satellite antenna technology are reviewed: single …

Usual geometrical optics based syntheses of shaped reflectors provide numerically defined
surfaces which must be interpolated for subsequent evaluation of the antenna secondary …

The idealized shapes of satellite reflector antennas are often distorted once they are placed
in orbit. The performance of such antennas can be improved by identifying the locations and …

A novel shaped‐reflector antenna synthesis technique based on the particle swarm
optimization (PSO) algorithm is presented. The reflector surface is expanded using the …

This study presents an accurate method to synthesise a shaped‐beam flat reflectarray (RA)
antenna based on the phase synthesis of its equivalent aperture. For this purpose particle …
