Patent ID: 8604965

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a) a first position detector configured to acquire real position information associated with a real vehicle and generate signal containing said first real vehicle position information; and, b) A target calculator configured to receive said signal containing said first real vehicle position information and calculate therefrom virtual position information for at least one virtual target, encode said virtual position information into a format that is interpreted by a second position detector and generate encoded virtual position information for each of said virtual targets; and, c) A signal generator configured to receive said encoded virtual position information for each of said virtual targets, combine said encoded virtual position information with a radio frequency carrier signal to produce a modulated RF signal; and, d) A signal amplifier configured to receive said modulated RF signal, amplify said modulated RF signal to generate an amplified modulated RF signal containing the radio frequency carrier signal and the encoded virtual position information for each of said virtual targets; and, e) an antenna configured to receive and then radiate said amplified modulated RF signal generated by said signal amplifier; and, wherein said signal amplifier is adjusted to radiate said amplified modulated RF signal by said antenna with only that strength sufficient to enable said second position detector to acquire said virtual position information.
