As a design example, the method has been applied to a quasi-optical power splitter consisting of two reflectors in a dual-offset configuration that couples a launched beam from a pyramidal horn antenna into a 2 × 4 horn antenna array. The two reflectors were treated as diffractive phase elements so that the proposed synthesis method allows reflector designs for many applications. The quasi-optical design has been confirmed at 150 GHz utilizing a vector field measurement system. The measured field distribution in the receiving antenna array plane is compared with the simulated one and shows a very good agreement.0018-948020041023852389AntennasComputer-generated hologramsDiffractionDiffractive opticsDiffractive phase elements (DPEs)Quasi-opticsShaped reflectorsSpatial power splitting/combiningSubmillimeter waveTechnikJournal Article10.1109/TMTT.2004.835920Other
