1. A method for operating a plurality of radiating elements, comprising:
- measuring a phase and a gain of each of the plurality of radiating elements;
determining a feed gain and a feed phase for each of the plurality of radiating elements based on the measured phase and the measured gain of a respective radiating element; and
setting independently each of the plurality of radiating elements based on the determined feed gain and the feed phase.
