The phase synthesis problem of a linear antenna according to the prescribed amplitude radiation pattern in the variational statement is considered. The problem is reduced to a system of the nonlinear equations with respect to both the unknown phase distribution of current and the phase radiation pattern. The linear equation to determine the points of branching for the appropriate nonlinear equation is obtained. The investigation of this linear equation is carried out numerically. The results are presented for the even prescribed amplitude radiation pattern.
