Abstract
A radiation system consists of a compound collection/beamforming system, surrounding a source of radiation, including an elevation collector/beamformer shaped as a compound parabolic concentrator and an azimuth collector/beamformer shaped so that tangential rays emanating from the source will be collected and formed into a beam of a predetermined design, and a modulator for alternately blocking and unblocking the beam from the compound collection/beamforming system.
