Abstract
A system and method for providing coherent sources for phased arrays are provided. One method includes providing a plurality of transceivers configured to transmit signals and defining an array of nodes. The method also includes providing a plurality of beacons at different frequencies to one of aim or focus phase coherent energy generated by the transmitted signals from the plurality of transceivers, wherein the phase coherent energy is transmitted at a direction and a frequency determined with phase conjugation and independent of the location of the plurality of beacons.
