Plane-wave generation through general near-field In-band reflectarray direct layout optimization with figure of merit constraints in mm-wave band

A general near-field (NF) in-band synthesis strategy is presented for the direct layout optimization (DLO) of reflectarrays with application to the generation of plane waves for the mm-wave band. The technique relies on the definition of relevant figures of merit (FoM) and the use of a gradient-base...
