Abstract
An antenna system comprises a plurality of antenna elements arranged asymmetrically in an antenna array. Each antenna element in the antenna system includes one or more first terminals that receive a vertically polarized wireless signal and one or more second terminals that receive horizontally a polarized wireless signal. The antenna system further comprises a processing circuit that combines the vertically polarized signal and the horizontally polarized signal using a combiner after applying a 90-degree phase shift to the vertically polarized signal or the horizontally polarized signal to obtain a left-hand circularly polarized (LHCP) signal or a right-hand circularly polarized (RHCP) signal. The antenna system is configured to steer a beam of the antenna array to best antenna pattern. The plurality of antenna elements are asymmetrically positioned and asymmetrically oriented in the antenna array to provide tunability to each antenna element.
