1. A system comprising:
- a computer program on computer readable medium operable to;
receive measurement signals indicating the position of selected locations of an antenna array;
predict the future shape of the antenna array at a future time; and
apply compensation signals at that future time to signals generated or received by at least one antenna element, wherein the compensation signals are based on the future shape of the antenna array; and
a computer processor operable to execute the computer program.

Abstract
A system for dynamically compensating signal propagation for flexible radar antennas receives measurement signals indicating the position of selected locations of an antenna array. The future shape of the antenna array at a future time is predicted, and compensation signals are applied to signals generated or received by the antenna elements. The compensation signals are based on the future shape of the antenna array.
