Abstract

Claims (9)

1 . A system comprising:

one or more processors configured to generate a digital electrical signal having a state, wherein the state is determined by comparing a phase difference to a threshold, and wherein the phase difference is determined based on a reference phase of a base frequency cycle and a target phase; and

a phased array of transducers configured to be driven by the digital electrical signal.

2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a polynomial spline having a plurality of intervals, and wherein at least one of the plurality of intervals is a base frequency period.

3 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a polynomial spline having a plurality of intervals, and wherein at least one of the plurality of intervals is a power-of-two count of base frequency periods.

4 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a polynomial spline having a plurality of intervals, and wherein at least one of the plurality of intervals is a power-of-two fraction of a base frequency period.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital electrical signal has a phase angle, and wherein the phase angle is modified by a rolling counter incremented by a value driven by an external environmental monitoring sensor.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital electrical signal has a phase angle, and wherein the phase angle is modified by a rolling counter decremented by a value driven by an external environmental monitoring sensor.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is a value representing an amplitude.
