Abstract
The present invention is an antenna system having an array of metamaterial cells and a transmission array having a plurality of slots, wherein a signal propagates through the transmission array to the metamaterial cells and radiates a beamform. The system further includes reactance control means to adjust a phase of the beamform and to perform beam steering and beam switching.
