摘要: A method and system for reconfiguring an antenna are disclosed. The comprises a feed horn, subreflector, main reflector. horn is pointed at axis removed from the bisector of subreflector. distance between subreflector can be changed to defocus with respect wherein size outgoing beam emanating reflector changes when aligned differently subreflectro, adn changing in changed.
