Robust, continuous, and software-defined beam pattern control of holographic metamaterial antennas is necessary to realize the potential of these low-power-consumption, thin, lightweight, inexpensive antennas for consumer usage of satellite communication. We present a complete feedback control approach that enables adaptive control of the radiation pattern for the electronically scanned metamaterial antenna that is robust to measurement noise and is able to continuously optimize performance throughout changing environmental conditions and antenna characteristics. The physical size, weight, and cost advantages of the metamaterial antenna make it an attractive technology when paired with robust and adaptive on-board software strategies to optimize antenna performance and self-tune for various environmental conditions.
