1. A mechanically variable beam width antenna, comprising:
- a generally planar reflector;
a first plurality of radiators configured in a first column adjacent the reflector;
a second plurality of radiators configured in a second column adjacent the reflector;
a third plurality of radiators configured in a third column adjacent the reflector;
at least one actuator coupled to the first and second plurality of radiators, wherein the first plurality of radiators and the second plurality of radiators are movable relative to each other in a direction generally parallel to the plane of the reflector from a first configuration wherein the first and second columns are spaced a first distance apart to a second configuration wherein the first and second columns are spaced a second distance apart.

Abstract
A variably controlled stagger antenna array architecture is disclosed. The array employs a plurality of driven radiating elements that are spatially arranged having each radiating element or element groups orthogonally movable relative to a main vertical axis. This provides a controlled variation of the antenna array'"'"'s azimuth radiation pattern without excessive side lobe radiation over full range of settings.
