ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a programmable antenna that includes a plane and a plurality of programmable arrays on the plane, where the plurality of programmable arrays are connected together in cross-point fashion for programming a user-definable antenna shape therein. The programmable arrays may be programmed before or after being placed on the plane. If the programmable arrays are to be programmed while on the plane then a controller is connected to the programmable arrays to program them. A plurality of planes may be used to realize a three-dimensional programmable antenna.
