Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for re-pointing at least one beam are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed method involves receiving and/or transmitting, with at least one feed, electromagnetic (EM) energy towards a non-parabolic reflector. In at least one embodiment, reflected EM energy that is reflected from the non-parabolic reflector originates from and/or generates at least one beam. The method further involves rotating, at least one feed, from at least one first angular position to at least one second angular position, such that at least one beam shifts from at least one first coverage location to at least one second coverage location.
