Claim 16:
17. A phased array system for controlling the directivity of a beam-formed signal, the system comprising:
a plurality of beam forming elements;
a plurality of beam forming integrated circuits according to claim 1; and
a beam forming controller configured to pre-program the selected register set associated with each beam forming channel with the operating parameters for changing the directivity characteristics of the beam-formed signals of the plurality of beam forming integrated circuits and to produce the fast beam switching control signals to cause simultaneously switching of the plurality of beam forming channels of the plurality of beam forming integrated circuits to the pre-programmed operating parameters from the selected register set of the corresponding register bank to change the directivity characteristics of the beam-formed signals of the plurality of beam forming integrated circuits.
