Abstract:
A system for transmitting information between nodes in a point-to-point wireless communication system. The system includes a node with an antenna array and a beamformer that is controllable to orient a main lobe of the antenna array in a desired direction. A spacing of the plurality of antenna elements in the array is adjustable to control a direction of a grating lobe of the antenna array to complete a communication link with a node in the network. Signals are simultaneously transmitted in the direction of the main lobe and the grating lobe to different nodes in the network.
