ABSTRACT:
A method for antenna tracking includes providing a central feed element in an antenna focal region with additional feed elements in an azimuth coordinate to provide a multitude of feed elements that each have a static beam position, and varying ratios of amplitudes of adjacent feed elements of the multitude of feed elements to electronically steer a beam between the static beam positions.
