Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described herein which utilizes and controls an electromagnetic energy beam steering apparatus. The electromagnetic energy beam steering apparatus uses directional properties of a Luneburg lens to receive RF energy from one or more points of the Luneburg lens and re-transmits the RF energy from a different point of the Luneburg lens to focus the RF energy in a desired direction. The electromagnetic energy beam steering apparatus may take a form of a passive repeater, an active repeater, or a multipath active repeater.
