Abstract
A signal transmission system comprising a transmitter, a rotating transmitting antenna connected to the transmitter, a receiver, and a receiving antenna connected to the receiver. A controller connected to the transmitter is adapted to control the transmitter based upon a location of the receiving antenna relative to the transmitting antenna. The controller is also adapted to limit a transmission of signals from the transmitter to when a predetermined beam pattern of the transmitting antenna is at least partially aligned with the receiving antenna.
