1. An integrated antenna system for telecommunications, comprising:
- a substantially flat and circular antenna having a rotation axis coinciding with its axis;
a support having the antenna fixedly joined thereto, wherein said support has a rotation axis, at least two flat, substantially circular antennas having a diameter D1, D2, each of the antennas being inclined by an angle α
relative to the antenna support, wherein the antenna has a beam inclined by an angle φ
1 and the antenna has a beam inclined by an angle φ
2 relative to the axis of rotation of the antenna; and
a device adapted to making the antennas and their support rotate.

Abstract
An integrated antenna system for telecommunications comprises at least one substantially flat and circular antenna provided with a rotation axis coinciding with its axis, the antenna being fixedly joined to a support itself comprising a rotation axis. The rotation axis of the antenna is inclined by an angle θ relative to the rotation axis of the antenna support and the antenna beam forms an angle φ relative to the rotation axis of the antenna.

7. A method for sending out one of more antenna beams in a telecommunications system, wherein an assembly comprising at least two substantially circular, flat antennas with a diameter D1, D2 is made to rotate, each of the antennas is inclined, for example, by an angle α
- relative to the antenna support, the antenna presenting a beam inclined by an angle φ
1 and the antenna has a beam inclined by an angle φ
2 relative to the rotation axis of the antenna, the rotation being done in relative bearing about a main axis vertical to the support on which the assembly is positioned.
- relative to the antenna support, the antenna presenting a beam inclined by an angle φ
