1. A communication device, comprising:

  • a plurality of adjustable phase shifters;

    a plurality of dielectric antennas, each dielectric antenna comprising a feed point, each feed point coupled to a different one of the plurality of adjustable phase shifters;

    a transmitter coupled to each phase shifter of the plurality of adjustable phase shifters, the transmitter facilitating transmission of electromagnetic waves by way of the plurality of adjustable phase shifters, and a different one of the electromagnetic waves generated by the plurality of adjustable phase shifters propagating from a different one of the feed points of the plurality of dielectric antennas along corresponding dielectric feedlines without an electrical return path; and

    a controller coupled to the plurality of adjustable phase shifters to facilitate beam steering of wireless signals generated by the plurality of dielectric antennas by controlling the plurality of adjustable phase shifters.
