  • Patent number: 5526325
    Abstract: A transmitter for generating a steerable, variable frequency signal from an rray of projectors. An analog signal to be transmitted is sampled, digitized and stored in a circulating memory. A delay storage circuit includes time delays for each projector for each of predetermined beam directions. The successive locations in the recirculating memory correspond to signals having a time correspondence at predetermined unit delays from the signal then at the input terminal. The delay storage unit then produces a reading address for recovering, for each of the projector drivers, a signal value corresponding to an appropriate delay for obtaining the desired steering angle with a constant beamwidth signal. Frequency sensing circuitry can further compensate the signals by assigning each to a frequency bin and utilizing that bin to further define the delay for each projector and control the amplitude of the signal being sent to each projector.
