Abstract
Part I considers the problem of determining the source distribution over a circular aperture required to produce a prescribed radiation pattern. In particular, the problem of optimizing the narrow broadside pattern from a circular aperture is discussed in detail and an improved design method over Taylor's for line source is devised. Numerical examples are given.Part II deals with the analysis of the radiation pattern from a circular aperture from γ1 to γ2 with the traveling wave type source functions. Expressions suitable to the analysis and the synthesis are obtained and the narrow-beam and shaped-beam synthesis are discussed.Keywords
