1. A method comprising:
controlling operation of a plurality of scattering elements in an empirically modulated antenna system to operate at discrete operational configurations and form an initial modulation pattern;
identifying a performance parameter of the empirically modulated antenna system to evaluate after each of the plurality of scattering elements is discretely modulated on a per-element basis; and
discretely modulating a corresponding operational configuration of the plurality of scattering elements on the per-element basis to evaluate the performance parameter on the per-element basis with respect to each of a plurality of different operational configurations.
