  • Abstract
    A new shaping method was introduced by Baker (see National Radio Science Meeting, p.239, 1995). The method gives a generalized theoretical basis for reflector shaping and provides a versatile and powerful technique for transforming a given input wavefront to a chosen output wavefront with maximal control over the amplitude distribution on the output wavefront. The article shows several results from the method, demonstrating its versatility.
