System and method for extending path length of a wave signal using angle multiplexing

A system and method for extending the path length of an electromagnetic wave signal traveling between apertures is disclosed. One such system may comprise N arrays having M1 through MN apertures, respectively, wherein N≥2, M1≥2, and each of M2 through MN≥1, a substantial number of the M1 apertures i...

Zusammenfassung:A system and method for extending the path length of an electromagnetic wave signal traveling between apertures is disclosed. One such system may comprise N arrays having M1 through MN apertures, respectively, wherein N≥2, M1≥2, and each of M2 through MN≥1, a substantial number of the M1 apertures in a first array is configured to send the electromagnetic wave signal to a substantial number of the M2 apertures in a second array through the MN apertures in a N-th array, the substantial number of the M2 apertures in the second array through the MN apertures in the N-th array receiving the electromagnetic wave signal from the substantial number of the M1 apertures in the first array is configured to redirect the received electromagnetic wave signal back to the substantial number of the M1 apertures in the first array, and the substantial number of the M1 apertures in the first array is further configured to send the electromagnetic wave signal to another one of the M1 apertures in the first array after receiving the redirected electromagnetic wave signal from a MN-th aperture in the N-th array.
