Summary:This article presents the synthesis of a conformal timed array for optimum energy patterns during beam-scanning. The study presents a performance evaluation and a design example of the conformal timed array in a half cylinder shape with optimum true-time delays. The particle swarm optimization is used as the synthesis technique. Important remarks are given for designing a conformal timed array.
