The proposed techniques can be extended for broadside pattern correction of conformal antenna arrays on other deformed surfaces (spherical nose of plane, flexing wings of UAV, etc.). Another interesting research can be to extend these techniques for beamforming on conformal deformed surfaces (e.g., on base station/ tower of cellular companies) to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and its

capacity. In this work, convex optimization is used to compute the compensated phases (with uniform amplitudes constraint) for recovery of broadside radiation pattern only. In practice, the technique is robust and can be used to calculate complex weights (amplitude tapering as well as phase correction), which can be further explored for beamforming applications and side lobe level control of conformal antenna arrays.
