摘要: A user terminal (110) which comprises an electrically-controllable back-fed antenna (300, FIG. 3) is used for the formation of single and multiple beams. The RF power distribution/combination network (310), phase-shifting elements (320), a control (440, 4) radiating/receiving (360). coupled to controlling dielectric constant material contained within elements. In preferred embodiment, comprise waveguide sections containing at least one material, includes ferroelectric preferably comprising Barium Strontium Titanate (BST).
