1. An antenna system comprising:
- multiple antenna feed elements;
and multiple beam forming networks with multiple element weightings associated with the multiple feed elements configured to produce radiation patterns for both receiving and transmission functions configured to be optimized by re-positioning said antenna feed elements with a re-positioning mechanism configured to alter positions of said antenna feed elements via an iterative optimization processing to meet multiple constraints to said radiation patterns for said both receiving and transmission functions concurrently to shape said radiation patterns,wherein said beam forming networks comprise a receiving beam forming network configured to combine multiple first inputs from said antenna feed elements into at least a first output, and a transmission beam forming network configured to divide a second input into multiple second outputs to said antenna feed elements.
