1. An antenna system, comprising:

  • a dielectric antenna including a feed-point, wherein the dielectric antenna is a single antenna having a plurality of antenna beam patterns;

    at least one cable comprising a plurality of conductorless dielectric cores directly coupled to the feed-point of the dielectric antenna, each of the plurality of conductorless dielectric cores, when selected, configured to supply a select one of electromagnetic waves to the feed-point of the dielectric antenna, and the select one of the electromagnetic waves transforming at the dielectric antenna to be emitted as a selected one of the plurality of antenna beam patterns; and

    a core selector configured to couple the select one of the electromagnetic waves to a selected one of the plurality of conductorless dielectric cores to generate the selected one of the plurality of antenna beam patterns.
