Abstract

A summation method, especially adapted for numerical computation, is evolved for finding the magnitude and phase of the field distribution over a plane aperture which will yield an approximation to a specified polar diagram on one side of the aperture plane. The method is illustrated with a detailed example. A concise statement of numerical procedure is given.
