Abstract

A method and system of producing phase front distortion wherein a pair of peaters of electromagnetic waves are utilized in this system. The function of each repeater is to receive a signal from a distant source, amplify the signal and retransmit the signal back to the source. The pair of repeaters are designed so that the relative phase of the pair of repeated waves are precisely controlled at the center of the source. In addition, this phase control is automatic, independent of frequency, and independent of the angular location of the source. The transmitting antennas of the repeaters are separated by several feet so that the relative phase of the two waves received by the source varies across the source aperture.
