Claim 12:
13. An antenna system, comprising:
a feeding unit;
a plurality of radiating elements arranged in an array and comprising one or more first radiating elements and one or more second radiating elements; and
a beam adjustment assembly comprising:
a phase shifter comprising:
a circuit board comprising:
a first strip connected to the feeding unit and configured to connect to the one or more first radiating elements; and
a second strip that is spaced apart from the first strip and that is configured to connect to the one or more second radiating elements of an antenna; and

main dielectric slabs slidably coupled to the circuit board and configured to slide in a first direction to a first position and to slide in a second direction to a second position, wherein the first direction is opposite the second direction; and

a connecting plate slidably disposed on the circuit board and configured to control an electrical connection between the first strip and the second strip,
wherein one or more of the main dielectric slabs are configured to:
push the connecting plate to connect the first strip to the second strip when the main dielectric slabs slide to the first position; and
push the connecting plate to disconnect the first strip from the second strip when the main dielectric slabs slide to the second position,

wherein the one or more second radiating elements are configured to connect to the feeding unit when the connecting plate connects the first strip to the second strip; and
wherein the one or more second radiating elements are configured to disconnect from the feeding unit when the connecting plate disconnects the first strip from the second strip.
