Abstract:
A radio frequency antenna array uses multiple lenses, and mechanically movable elements, to provide ground-based and sky-based coverage for multiple object communication and tracking. The antenna array includes at least two spherical lenses, where each spherical lens has at least two associated RF elements. A third lens is added, along with at least two additional RF elements to narrow and track the overlapped beams from the first and second lenses. Each lens also includes a sub-controller configured to adjust a phase of the signals produced by the RF elements. The antenna includes a control mechanism configured to enable a user to move the RF elements along their respective tracks, and automatically configure the phase shifter to modify a phase of the output signals from the elements based on the relative positions between the RF elements. The overlapped beams track independent targets, such as satellites, across an area.

Claim (Index 2):
The communication system of  claim 1  further comprising a third lens having a fifth element oriented to produce a fifth output beam, and a sixth element oriented to produce a sixth output beam;\n wherein the controller is further configured to combine at least the first overlapped beam and the fifth output beam to produce a third overlapped beam, by constructive interference, and the controller is further configured to combine at least the second overlapped beam and the sixth output beam to produce a fourth overlapped beam, by constructive interference; \n wherein the third overlapped beam comprises a fifth output area, and the fourth overlapped beam comprises a sixth output area; and \n wherein the controller is further configured to electronically phase shift at least one of the first overlapped beam and the fifth output beam to effectively move the third overlapped beam across the first output area, and the controller is further configured to electronically phase shift at least one of the second overlapped beam and the sixth output beam to effectively move the fourth overlapped beam across the third output area.
