Disclosed herein are methods, circuits, devices, assemblies and systems for facilitating wireless communication, both satellite and terrestrial. According to embodiments, there may be provided a integrated bidirectional phased array including multiple antenna element clusters, wherein each antenna cluster may be comprised of a set of antenna elements disposed in proximity to one another and connected to one another through an intra-cluster signal distribution line. Antenna element clusters may be connected to one another and to a main signal line through a network of inter-cluster signal distribution lines as least some of which may include electrically controllable signal phase shifters. A first set of antenna element clusters may be connected to a transmission signal line, forming a TX antenna and a second set of antenna elements clusters may be connected to a receive signal line. Antenna elements may be disposed on a common surface, or parallel surfaces, in an interlaced manner.

Antenna element clusters may be connected to one another and to a main signal line through a network of inter-cluster signal distribution lines as least some of which may include electrically controllable signal phase shifters. A first set of antenna element clusters may be connected to a transmission signal (TX) line, thereby forming a TX antenna. A second set of antenna element clusters may be connected to a receive signal (RX) line, thereby forming a second RX antenna. Antenna elements of RX and TX antenna element clusters may disposed on a common surface, or parallel surfaces, in an interlaced manner.

The present invention relates to a waveguide tuning device () arranged for mounting in a waveguide structure () which has a longitudinal extension (L) and comprises a first inner wall (), a second inner wall (), a third inner wall () and a fourth inner wall. The inner walls are arranged such that a rectangular cross-section is obtained for the waveguide structure. The first inner wall () and the second inner wall () have a first length (b) and are facing each other. The third inner wall () and the fourth inner wall () have a second length (a) and are facing each other. The electrical field (E) is parallel to the main surfaces of the first inner wall () and the second inner wall (). The tuning device () is electrically controllable and arranged for mounting at the first inner wall () and/or the second inner wall (). The present invention also relates to a tunable waveguide structure.
