چکیده

ظاهرشدن اختلال بر سطح بازتابنده اصلی سبب تغییر الگوی تشعشعی در آنتن‌های بازتابنده شده و ویژگی‌های تشعشعی این آنتن را به خصوص در فرکانس‌های بالا تخریب می‌کند. روش‌های متفاوتی برای جبران‌سازی اثرات نامطلوب اختلال سطح بازتابنده اصلی وجود دارد. در این مقاله، نشان داده می‌شود که چگونه می‌توان با استفاده از شکل‌دهی سطح بازتابنده فرعی اقدام به جبران‌سازی این اثرات نمود. بر مبنای ریاضیات وردِشی می‌توان الگوی تشعشعی آنتن بازتابنده را خطی سازی و به‌صورت ماتریسی بازنویسی کرد. با استفاده از روش تفکیک مقادیر ویژه می‌توان اقدام به حل مسئله‌ معکوس نموده و نشان داده می‌شود که برای یک ساختار دوبازتابنده‌ای، روش ارائه شده با دقت مناسبی قادر به طراحی بازتابنده فرعی مطلوب است. نتایج به‌دست آمده نشان می‌دهد که اگر دامنه‌ اختلال سطح بازتابنده اصلی کمتر از یک‌چهارم طول ‌موج باشد، الگوریتم ارائه‌شده با دقت و سرعت قادر به طراحی بازتابنده فرعی مورد نظر است.
