Claim 3:
4. A method performed at least in part by a power system controller that is at least partially hardware, the method comprising:
powering a first voltage source in a first edge opening of a circular disk to cause radiation;
powering a second voltage source in a second edge opening of the circular disk to cause radiation; and
making an identification on if the circular disk should radiate in a dipole pattern or a cardioid pattern,
where the first edge opening and the second edge opening are along a common axis,
where powering the first voltage source and powering the second voltage source occur in a manner consistent with causing the dipole pattern when the identification is that radiation should be in the dipole pattern and
where powering the first voltage source and powering the second voltage source occur in a manner consistent with causing the cardioid pattern when the identification is that radiation should be in the cardioid pattern.
