Abstract
An antenna system may include a base having an opening therein, and a plurality of swing arms each having a concave elongate shape and opposing ends pivotally connected to the base to permit a swinging motion within the opening of the base. The swing arms may be transverse to one another thereby defining an overlap area between the swing arms. The antenna system may further include a respective swing arm positioner connected between the base and each swing arm. An antenna carriage may be movable along the swing arms and which remains at the overlap area between the swing arms. A positioning controller may be connected to each swing arm positioner, and an antenna may be connected to the antenna carriage.
