| 1. An integrated antenna system for telecommunications comprising:
at least two flat, substantially circular rotatable antennas fixedly joined to a single rotatable antenna support having a
rotation axis central to the at least two antennas, each antenna being provided with a rotation axis coinciding with its axis,
the at least two antennas having a diameter D1, D2, respectively;
wherein each antenna is inclined at an angle α relative to the antenna support;
wherein each antenna has a beam inclined at an angle relative to its axis of rotation, such that the multiple antennas cover
complementary and different elevation fields and;
wherein the antenna system comprises a device adapted to making the antennas and their support rotate.
