This paper proposes an algorithm for the automated design of metasurface antennas. From the objective radiation field and the feeding structure, it allows to obtain a surface current distribution that leads to a passive and lossless impedance profile on the radiating aperture. The surface is modelled by a scalar impedance boundary condition and the electromagnetic problem is formulated as an electric field integral equation. The approach is entirely numerical, based on the gradient descent optimization of a scalar objective function that incorporates passivity and far field requirements. This procedure was applied to the design of an electrically large circular metasurface antenna at 32 GHz, obtaining a lossless impedance profile with satisfactory radiation properties.
