Abstract
- A novel method of designing a mirror surface to generate a directivity diagram represented as a vector function of one argument is presented. A general relationship for the mirror surface for an arbitrary illuminating beam wavefront is derived as an envelope of a parametric family of surfaces. Each surface in the family transforms the input beam into a beam with plane wavefront of desired direction. For the spherical illuminating beam the mirror surface is given as the envelope of the family of rotational paraboloids. The envelope is represented as a family of curves given by the intersections of paraboloids with circular cones of rays from the point source. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
