ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a reconfigurable transmission antenna comprising a reflector (10) for energy focussing, and an array (11) of source elements situated in the focal region of the reflector, so that the electromagnetic field is synthesized in said region, wherein a spot (SPi) is the result of radiation from a number of sources that is fixed and identical for all the spots; any one source participating at any one time in radiating one spot at the most, and high-level switching being used to reconfigure the spots by selecting the sources that participate in a given spot. Application to the space telecommunications field in particular.
