Toward this end, a System-by-Design (SbD) approach is adopted where the layer geometrical features are the solution descriptors, while the minimization of the array power reflection is the synthesis objective. Selected numerical examples are shown to illustrate the potentialities of the proposed SbD-based design strategy. publisher: ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento date: 2017 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/748/1/A_System%E2%80%90by%E2%80%90Design_Approach_for_the_Synthesis_of_WAIMs_for_Planar_Arrays.v2.pdf identifier: Oliveri, G. and Salucci, M. and Anselmi, N. and Massa, A.
