Abstract
A steerable antenna device for a reconfigurable wireless mesh network comprises a directionally-disordered quasi-uniform two-dimensional array including a plurality of antenna elements attached to the substrate. The steerable antenna device further comprises a plurality of switches for each one of the plurality of antenna elements, the switches configured to select, for each of the antenna elements, a respective phase delay from a respective set of possible phase delays by selecting a respective path from a set of possible respective paths in the network of antenna feed traces.
