Patent ID: 7009560

Claim:
A system for processing signals, the system comprising: a first phase shifter configured to receive or generate a first signal; a second phase shifter configured to receive or generate a second signal; a first variable time delay system coupled to the first phase shifter and configured to generate or receive a third signal; a second variable time delay system coupled to the second phase shifter and configured to generate or receive a fourth signal; a first signal processing system coupled to the first variable time delay system and the second variable time delay system and configured to generate or receive a fifth signal; a sampling system configured to sample at least the third signal and the fourth signal and generate at least a sixth signal and a seventh signal respectively; a switching system configured to receive the at least a sixth signal and a seventh signal and output an eighth signal and a ninth signal, the eighth signal being the same as one of the at least a sixth signal and a seventh signal, the ninth signal being the same as one of the at least a sixth signal and a seventh signal; a measuring system configured to receive the eighth signal and the ninth signal and process at least information associated with the eighth signal and the ninth signal.
