Abstract
For distributing a signal to loads in an area, the area is divided into a plurality of regions. A respective signal point is disposed in each region for providing the signal to a load in the region. A respective diffusion point is disposed between any two neighboring signal points. The signal is initially applied to a center point of the signal and diffusion points. The signal when received at a given signal or diffusion point is transmitted to any of the signal or diffusion points within a maximum distance from the given signal or diffusion point.

A method of distributing a signal to loads in an area, comprising:
- dividing the area into a plurality of regions;
- placing a respective signal point in each of the regions for providing the signal to a load in each region;
- placing a respective diffusion point between any two neighboring signal points;
- initially applying the signal to a center point of the signal and diffusion points;
- and
- transmitting the signal when received at a given signal or diffusion point to any of the signal or diffusion points within a maximum distance from the given signal or diffusion point.
A point diffusion signal distribution system for distributing a signal to loads in an area, comprising:
- a plurality of regions comprising the area;
- a plurality of signals points, each signal point being disposed in a respective region for providing the signal to a load in the respective region;
- and
- a plurality of diffusion points, each diffusion point being disposed between a respective two neighboring signal points;
- wherein the signal is initially applied to a center point of the signal and diffusion points;
- and wherein the signal when received at a given signal or diffusion point is transmitted to any of the signal or diffusion points within a maximum distance from the given signal or diffusion point.
