Abstract
A multiple access communications system includes a communications unit, such as satellite or a mobile link base station, and an antenna disposed thereon. The antenna has the capability to direct an antenna beam at a selected user on a packet by packet basis thereby reducing the latency, buffering, and non-uniform gain distribution associated with conventional transmission systems.
