  • Abstract
    We introduce a novel strategy to synthesize an antenna array capable to focus a field in an unknown scenario. The underlying power synthesis problem is efficiently solved via convex programming and using an approximation of the fields radiated by the array elements. This approximation stems from an original exploitation of the equation underlying the Linear Sampling Method. As such, the proposed strategy takes advantage of the broad applicability of this well-known imaging approach. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the performance of the strategy.
