Abstract:
An aspect of the present invention is drawn to a communication system that includes an electrically steerable parasitic array transmitter antenna, a transmitter driver, an electrically steerable parasitic array receiver antenna, and a receiver driver. The transmitter driver is arranged such that it is operable to enable the electrically steerable parasitic array transmitter antenna to transmit a beam having a first directional vector at a first time, a second directional vector at a second time, and an nth directional vector at an nth time. The receiver driver is arranged such that it is operable to enable the electrically steerable parasitic array receiver antenna to receive a beam having a third directional vector at a third time, a fourth directional vector at a fourth time, and an mth directional vector at an mth time.
