This inspires me to a (perhaps under-educated) pitch for exploration of
a novel antenna: An Adaptive Elevation Angle MEMS Beverage.
Seriously, I wonder what challenges would be realized in trying to use a
set of mechanical relays to incrementally lengthen or shorten a Beverage
to sweep elevation angle, albeit while distorting F/B and beamwidth....
I'd certainly purchase the journal that published such a paper.
