Model-Based Optimization of Compressive Antennas for High-Sensing-Capacity Applications

This letter presents a novel, model-based compressive antenna design method for high-sensing-capacity imaging applications. Given a set of design constraints, the method maximizes the capacity of the compressive antenna by varying the constitutive properties of scatterers distributed along the antenna. Preliminary two-dimensional design results demonstrate the new method's ability to produce antenna configurations with enhanced imaging capabilities.
