Abstract
This paper describes the use of antenna beam steering to improve performance of meteor burst communications systems. Various techniques used to achieve antenna beam steering are described and compared. Measured comparisons of meteor burst performance with and without antenna beam steering are given. To demonstrate an application of beam steering, a meteor burst system with 10 times the throughput performance of any previous meteor burst system, and with sufficient capacity to provide interactive voice communication, is also described.<>
