Abstract
A novel communications method for generating specific unique information containing waveforms, for geometrically modulating a signal with those waveforms, and an apparatus for generating the waveforms, geometrically modulating carrier waves with those waveforms, or broadcasting the novel waves by RF, microwave, electric cable, or fiberoptic conduits.

A system for generating a waveform represented by one of the following equations:
- R ( θ ) = 1 - θ 4 4 ! + θ 8 8 ! - θ 12 12 ! + θ 16 16 ! - θ 20 20 ! + θ 24 24 ! ∑ T = 0 ( - 1 ) T θ 4 T ( 4 T ) ! , C ( θ ) = θ 3 3 ! - θ 7 7 ! + θ 11 11 ! - θ 15 15 ! + θ 19 19 ! - θ 23 23 ! + θ 27 27 ! ∑ T = 0 ( - 1 ) T θ 4 T + 3 ( 4 T + 3 ) ! , I ( θ ) = θ 2 2 ! - θ 6 6 ! + θ 10 10 ! - θ 14 14 ! + θ 18 18 ! - θ 22 22 ! + θ 26 26 ! ∑ T = 0 ( - 1 ) T θ 4 T + 2 ( 4 T + 2 ) ! , S ( θ ) = θ 1 ! - θ 5 5 ! + θ 9 9 ! - θ 13 13 ! + θ 17 17 ! - θ 21 21 ! + θ 25 25 ! ∑ T = 0 ( - 1 ) T θ 4 T + 1 ( 4 T + 1 ) ! ,
- wherein θ is the angle in radians of the waveform;
- T is an integer from 1 to ∞ representing the truncation point of the formula;
- and R(θ) represents an amplitude of the waveform, the system comprising:
- an oscillator that receives an input and generates a binary coded decimal output;
- a binary counter that receives the binary coded decimal output and generates a binary signal;
- an EPROM that receives the binary signal at an address and generates an output corresponding to a number contained at the address;
- a digital-to-analog converter that converts the number into a voltage value;
- and
- a signaling power supply that receives the voltage value and generates the waveform.
