Towards this end, by suitably formulating the reflectarray design as an inverse source (IS) problem, the non‐radiating current components flowing on the reflective surface are profitably determined in order to cancel the overall current in correspondence to selected sub‐regions (i.e., "forbidden‐regions") of the antenna surface without modifying the desired radiation features. Representative numerical results are shown to validate the effectiveness of the developed synthesis method. date: 2019 publisher: ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento referencetext: [1] P.
