Abstract
A communications system and network wherein communications links between subscribers are established by retrodirective oscillating loops between each subscriber and a node station. Provision is also made for establishment of retrodirective oscillating loops between nodes so that remotely located subscribers can communicate. Information is transmitted between subscribers by using a mixing process in the node whereby information transmitted from one subscriber to a node is transferred to a carrier signal transmitted between nodes or between a second node and another subscriber. A sampling technique is also described for use in the node which greatly minimizes the amount of apparatus required to implement the mixing process.
