Phased array feeder (paf) for point to point links

A point-to-point communication system, comprising:

• a near end antenna device configured to transmit a narrow antenna beam over a wireless link;
• and
• a far end antenna device configured receive the narrow antenna beam over the wireless link, wherein the near end antenna device comprises:
• a directive element configured to focus an electrical field into the narrow antenna beam;
• a beam steering element configured to steer the narrow antenna beam;
• and
• a communication interface unit configured to perform operations on a transmitted signal and a received signal.

A method for maintaining a point-to-point communication link, comprising:

• verifying whether a signal transmitted from a near end antenna device to a far end antenna device was properly transmitted;
• determining a misalignment characteristic when the transmitted signal was improperly transmitted;
• and
• electrically altering, from a remote location, a beam steering element included within the near end antenna device to correct the misalignment characteristic.
