Phase Adjustment for Beamforming Arbitrarily-Shaped Phased Arrays

Abstract

Aiming to develop radiative wireless power transfer by implementing quasioptics, the question of how gaussian beams are generated must be tackled. Following a theoretical paper on the literature about the generation of gaussian beams by phased arrays, here we develop simulations that aim to validate and study the results from that paper. In order to do that, a circular microstrip patch antenna was designed and and used to create different phased-arrays. The phase of the current distribution of each element was adjusted and the obtained radiation patterns are here discussed.
