A control circuit for analog ferrite phase shifters in an antenna array wherein such phase shifters are arranged in rows and columns. The circuit includes a recirculating shift register for each row, each such register repetitively producing a "start" current flow signal for the phase shifters in each row and a recirculating shift register for each column, each such register repetitively producing a "stop" current flow signal for the phase shifters in each column. The various recirculating shift registers are programmed so that the time between the "start" and the "stop" current flow signal to each one of the phase shifters results in the proper average current to accomplish collimation and deflection of the beam from the antenna array.
