Phase-Only Synthesis of a Reflecting Surface for Enhancing Coverages in Urban Scenarios

A Phase-Only power pattern synthesis of a flat reflecting surface is presented to scatter a beam with a flat-top shaped pattern in one cut and a cosecant pattern in the other one. Far-field illumination is assumed and the reflecting surface is appointed to reflect the impinging wave into a non-specular direction. Also by comparisons with CST studio suite simulations, the results show how, in a realistic urban scenario, the algorithm is capable to effectively enforce the design specifications.
