## Abstract

A system is provided for combining frames in a plurality of ways to provide as output a new frame comprising a function of the combined frames. A system is also provided for combining a plurality of frames to provide as output a new frame that generates a specified average period as a function of the periods of the combined frames.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for combining frames to generate electrical signals, comprising:
an input for receiving a plurality of frame definitions, including a first frame definition and a next frame definition;
a processor for combining the first frame definition with the next frame definition to provide a new frame definition; and
an output to provide the new frame definition to a signal generator configured to generate electrical signals representing the new frame definition.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the frames are combined by concatenating first frame with a second frame.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein a frame is concatenated with itself.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the first frame is added to a second frame.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein lengths of the first and second frames are determined before adding the two frames.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein if the first and second frames are of different lengths, the length of one frame is adjusted to be the same length as the other frame.

### Claim 7

A system for combining a plurality of frames to generate electrical signals, comprising:
an input for receiving a specified average frame period for a specified number (N) of frame periods and a first frame period not equal to the specified average frame period;
a processor for providing a number N of frame periods that have the specified average frame period; and
an output to provide the plurality N of frame periods to a signal generator for generating electrical signals having a specified average period.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the specified average period is an integer.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the specified average period is a factor of 60,000.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the specified average period is a factor of an integer multiple of 60,000.

### Claim 11

A system for combining a plurality of frames to generate electrical signals, the system comprising:
an input for receiving a specified average frame rate for a specified number (N) of frame periods and a first frame rate not equal to the specified average frame rate;
a processor for providing a number N of frame periods that have the specified average frame rate;
an output to provide the plurality N of frame periods to a signal generator for generating electrical signals having a specified average rate.
