Abstract: A reconfigurable shaped beam antenna system includes dual mode power divider with the output ports coupled to an equal number of radiators arranged in a row to provide a linear phase progression. One of the output ports of the power divider is selectively coupled to an additional radiator located at the opposite end of the row via 180.degree. phase shifter to maintain the phase progression.
