Proposed method of obtaining approximately desired radiation or reception pattern from antenna that includes reflector based on concept of superposition of electromagnetic fields generated by multiple feedhorns or feed antenna elements arrayed at various positions near reflector and excited at electronically adjustable magnitudes and phases. In intended application, reflector nominally paraboloidal, feed elements N feedhorns in hexagonal array, and method used to compensate for deviations of real reflector surface from nominal paraboloidal shape. Method and concept also applicable to electronic beam steering and electronic antenna compensation in other situations.
