The design of reflectarray surface currents that satisfy both radiation and user-defined antenna feasibility constraints is addressed through a novel paradigm which takes advantage of the non-uniqueness of inverse source (IS) problems. To this end, the synthesis is formulated in the IS framework and its non-measurable solutions are employed as a design DoF.
Thanks to the adopted framework, a closed-form expression for the design of reflectarray surface currents is derived which does not require any iterative local/global optimization procedure and which inherently satisfies both the radiation and the feasibility design constraints. The features and potentialities of the proposed strategy are assessed through selected numerical experiments dealing with different reflectarray aperture types/sizes and forbidden region definitions.
