System and Methods for Use With Electronically Steerable Antennas for Wireless Communications

Abstract:

Examples disclosed herein describe an antenna with antenna elements that may be selectively activated and deactivated to define active apertures. The active apertures may be of different shapes and sizes. An antenna may include one active aperture or multiple active apertures at a point in time. These one or more active apertures may be reconfigured, e.g., by deactivating the active antenna elements and activating other antenna elements.
