V III. C ONC LU SIONS
It has been demonstrated that the problem of antenna synthesis may
be approached realistically by considering the excitation of antennas
a s r a nd om a ro un d s om e me an v al ue . B y s o d o in g, t he c ri te ri on o f c lo se ne ss
of the synthesi~ed and desired patterns, s, becomes a random variable.
Three philosophies of optimization of such a random variable were given.
I t w as s ho wn t ha t m in im iz at io n o f t he m e an o f E leads very naturally
to a generalization of the concept of regularization and to a simple
and direct mehtod of computing the proper "amount" of regularization.
It should be remembered that to apply this method only the knowledge of
the second moments of the errors is required. By making some additional
assumptions on the probability law of the errors, it was demonstrated
that the distribution function of E could be approximated by the
Edgeworth series. S uch an approximation could then be used to apply
the horizontal (i.e., minimizing s for a given probability) and vertical
(i.e., maximizing probability for ~ not exceeding a given value)
optimization schemes. Finally, a random performance index suitable for
amplitude pattern synthesis was included.
S everal examples were considered, all of which involved the synthesis
of three-dimensional, circularly symmetric pattern functions. Most involved
planar arrays of vertical Hertzian dipoles. In these examples, considerable
simplification was obtained by taking advantage of the high symmetry
properties of the antenna array. To demonstrate the theory, several
improperly regularized solutions and one properly regularized solution

regularization matrix properly, ErE} is indeed' minimiZed ..' In addition,
simulations of the errors were perfor,med' for each solution
