| Abstract | Radio spectrum is fundamental resource for wireless communication. As a result, the ability to allow radios to flexibly use different parts of the wireless spectrum is key to managing this scarce resource efficiently. Indeed, the original vision of a software defined radio is one in which a radio’s center frequency is tunable, as is the precise signal waveform that is to be transmitted. However, a pivotal element is typically not as flexible to program – the antenna. Indeed, most programmable ra |
