Claim 15:
16. The antenna system of claim 1, wherein:
the zig-zag antenna array includes a plurality of crossed zig-zag antenna, each crossed zig-zag antenna extending through the conductive disk stack of conductive disks;
each crossed zig-zag antenna includes a respective element pair including a respective first zig-zag element and a respective second zig-zag element;
each crossed zig-zag antenna is independently controllable as a separate channel by the control circuit through the respective element pair to transmit or receive the RF waves as a respective independent RF output beam with a different respective polarization state; and
the control circuit includes:
a microcontroller, and
a plurality of independently controlled outputs coupled to the microcontroller, each independently controlled output operated by the microcontroller and coupled to a respective crossed zig-zag antenna to transmit or receive respective RF waves via the respective element pair.
