Résumé

In this paper a simple iterative synthesis method is presented for the formation of the shape of the reflector surface with a single feed element to produce the desired contour beam. This is the method of the optimal phase synthesis of the appropriate field in the reflector aperture similar to other works. But unlike them, we solve the problem in a very simple way using the properties of complex-valued functions and Fourier transforms and not applying complicated methods of numerical minimization theory.
