  • Abstract
    Preliminary measurements are reported on a novel reconfigurable mesh reflector antenna. Reconfiguration from a spot-beam to an elliptical-beam is demonstrated with the antenna surface adjusted while mounted on the Antenna Range. The replacement of hand-adjusted actuators by motorised actuators is described.
