ABSTRACT
In this contribution, we describe a systematic approach to a class of optimization problems for electromagnetic radiation which are of some practical interest for the design of effective telecommunication systems. We show that a general framework, developed in collaboration with R.E. Kleinman [3], can be used for the analysis and, in concrete cases, for the numerical computation of optimal solutions. In particular, necessary conditions in the form of a multiplier rule are employed here and numerical results are shown for the specific case of a conducting loop which extend known results for the case of a linear array of dipole sources.
