Abstract
A reconfigurable array including: a plurality of imaging layer including an array of software addressable pixels; a conductive/non-conductive layer being positioned with respect to corresponding ones of the pixels such that addressing them causes corresponding portions of the conductive/non-conductive layer to be conductive; a radiator layer being positioned with respect to corresponding ones of the pixels such that addressing them defines at least one radiator array; a switching and summing layer positioned with respect to corresponding ones of the pixels such that the addressing them causes corresponding portions of switching and summing layer to switch and sum the signals; and, a plurality of inputs coupled to the imaging layers and being under software control to selectively activate the pixels.
