6 May 1989Holographic Beamformer Designed By An Iterative Technique
A fundamentally energy efficient, two element holographic beamformer for converting a Gaussian beam into a rectangular uniform beam in the far-field was designed, fabricated, and tested. The design method is based on a modification of the Gerchberg-Saxton iterative Fourier transform algorithm to include an x-y separability constraint on the phase of one of the holographic elements. This modification gave a design with improved beamforming performance. The two required holographic elements were fabricated using a combination of optical and computer-generation techniques. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the design approach.
