Abstract
A rotating beacon system and a method for synchronizing multiple rotating beacons. The rotating beacon system includes two or more rotating beacons and a feedback based control system adapted to sense an angular position of each of the two or more rotating beacons and generate two or more digitally controlled currents, each of the two or more digitally controlled currents conducted to an associated rotating beacon, the two or more digitally controlled currents driving and controlling the angular speed of each of the two or more rotating beacons to regulate a pre-selected phase relationship between multiple beacons.
