Claim 4:
5. A power system, at least partially for a circular disk configured to radiate a signal, comprising:
a first voltage source located in a first edge opening of the circular disk;
a second voltage source located in a second edge opening of the circular disk,
a third voltage source located in a third edge opening of the circular disk; and
a fourth voltage source located in a fourth edge opening of the circular disk,
where the first edge opening and the second edge opening are along a first common axis,
where the third edge opening and the fourth edge opening are along a second common axis,
where the second edge opening and the third edge opening are about 90 degrees from one another,
where at an about 0 degree state, the first voltage source is at about 1 real voltage unit and about 1 imaginary voltage unit, the second voltage source is at about 1 real voltage unit and about 0 imaginary voltage unit, the third voltage source is shorted, and the fourth voltage source is shorted,
where at an about 90 degree state, the first voltage source is shorted, the second voltage source is shorted, the third voltage source is at about 1 real voltage unit and about 0 imaginary voltage unit, and the fourth voltage source is at about 1 real voltage unit and about 1 imaginary voltage unit,
where at an about 180 degree state, the first voltage source is at about 1 real voltage unit and about 0 imaginary voltage unit, the second voltage source is at about 1 real voltage unit and about 1 imaginary voltage unit, the third voltage source is shorted, and the fourth voltage source is shorted,
where at an about 270 degree state, the first voltage source is shorted, the second voltage source is shorted, the third voltage source is at about 1 real voltage unit and about 1 imaginary voltage unit, and the fourth voltage source is at about 1 real voltage unit and about 0 imaginary voltage unit, and
where the about 0 degree state, the about 90 degree state, the about 180 degree state, and the about 270 degree state cause the circular disk to radiate the signal with a cardioid pattern.
