An antenna comprises a substantially circular ground plane with an upper surface and a defined center. A plurality of radiating elements are placed radially on the upper surface, arranged at constant angles around the defined center to, when electrically excited, create a plurality of circularly polarized electromagnetic emissions. Each radiating element of the plurality of radiating elements is in electrical communication with an electromagnetic source via an electrically conductive feed, the electromagnetic source configured, when in use, to create a radial excitation current on the radiating element, and further configured, when in use, to provide phase and amplitude control of the excited current on the radiating element for both beam forming and 360 degree beam steering by superposing omnidirectional circularly polarized electromagnetic emissions.

A method for emitting a signal from an antenna to a desired configurable direction, comprising: exciting multiple circular TE n1 modes and their degenerate modes to create a plurality of superposed omnidirectional circular-polarized waves, including a first omnidirectional circular-polarized wave with a first azimuthal wave profile and a second omnidirectional polarized wave with a second azimuthal wave profile, where the first azimuthal wave profile depends on an excited mode number n=1 and its degenerate mode, and where the second azimuthal wave profile depends on the excited mode number n=2 and its degenerate mode, and where a difference between the first azimuthal phase profile and the second azimuthal phase profile is leveraged to create a directional and steerable circularly polarized beam. Claim: 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: encoding data into the plurality of superposed omnidirectional circular-polarized waves. Claim: 3. The method of claim 1 , where each omnidirectional circular-polarized wave has an excitation amplitude and phase, further comprising: for each omnidirectional circular-polarized wave in the plurality of omnidirectional circular-polarized wave: exciting a first circular TE n1 mode, where n is an integer number greater than or equal to 1 representing the mode number; exciting a second circular TE n1 mode that is a degenerate mode of the first circular TE n1 mode and is spatially rotated relative to the first circular TE n1 mode by 180 degrees/(2n), and that has an excitation phase difference of 90 degrees; and controlling the excitation amplitude and phase in a way that forms and steers the beam.
